Hidden Networks
Adding the network details to the Raspberry Pi
Open the wpa-supplicant
configuration file in nano:
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
If you are using a hidden network, an extra option in the wpa_supplicant file
, scan_ssid
, may help connection.
network={
ssid="yourHiddenSSID"
scan_ssid=1
psk="Your_wifi_password"
}
You can verify whether it has successfully connected using ifconfig wlan0
. If the inet addr
field has an address beside it, the Raspberry Pi has connected to the network. If not, check your password and ESSID are correct.
