If you canвЂ™t remember your network name вЂ“ just pull up your phone it will most like display the name in the settings or network settings screens.ДЄfter editing the file you should see something like the following:

You will need to put your own SSID and password into the appropriate places. To configure you wireless network you want to modify the file such that it looks like the following: auto lo This will open the file in an editor called nano it is a very simple text editor that is easy to approach and use even for users not familiar to a linux based operating systems just use the arrow keys.ДЄfter opening the file in nano you will see a screen like this: You can edit this file using the following command: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

On the Raspberry Pi (and on Linux in general) you configure your network settings in the file вЂњ/etc/network/interfacesвЂќ. All that is left is to configure your WiFi connection.

This means that the operating system recognized the USB WiFi Adapter using one of the built-in drivers ( you can return to the terminal by pressing вЂњqвЂќ). usb 1-1.2: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 You can use the spacebar to scroll down a page at a time вЂ“ towards the end you will see something similar to the following lines: usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg To look at which peripherals the operating system found when booting run the following command: dmesg | more You are still going to need some other means of being able to control the Raspberry Pi either via a keyboard or remotely using a wired network connection.ДЄfter booting and logging-in you want to make sure that the Raspberry Pi found your new wireless adapter. Power up the Raspberry Pi вЂ“ remember at this point the WiFi adapter does not work yet. Plug the USB WiFi adapter into one of the free USB ports on the Raspberry Pi. I very recommend you do the same вЂ“ it could save you a lot of headaches.

I use the Edimax вЂ“ Wireless USB adapterВ because I have found it to be cheap and very easy to work with. This is why it is very important to buy a WiFi Adapter that mentions вЂњLinuxвЂќ in the product description or package. While drivers are normally readily available for Windows computers вЂ“ it is a different world for Linux and Raspberry PiвЂ™s.

Sometimes you will need to download a driver to make them work. As you may have experienced with other types of hardware devices not all devices are plug-n-play.

Setup the WPA configurationДЇinally you will want to edit the WPA configuration as below, donвЂ™t forget to update it for your SSID and WPA password! sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.Before we proceed I want to point out the importance of buying the right USB WiFi Adapter. If you donвЂ™t have a DHCP server, or if you want to just statically assign the IP address you can use the following, however update the IP, Netmask and Gateway to match your network. Wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nfДЄssuming you have a DHCP server on your LAN (normally your DSL/Cable router) use the following configuration, your SSID and password will be put in the wpa_nf later on in this guide. Normally your base configuration will look something like this auto lo Setup the interface configuration sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Power down the device, install your WiFi USB module and turn it back on. There are so many times you will run into a bug when installing something new and find out that it would have worked if your system was up to date, taking no risks here so get your system updated sudo apt-get updateДue to the RAM/CPU power on the PiвЂ™s, this might take a while, brew anyone?

Amazon LinkВ or Amazon LinkВ ( UK Amazon).

USB WiFi Dongle, either of the below work:.

Internet Connection (via the ethernet port to begin with).

We will beВ assumingВ that you have a head less setup (without a monitor) so the guide should work for everyone, either via SSH (remote) or via a local terminal session if you do have a monitor.ДЄlso its worth noting that some WiFiВ adaptersВ will require a powered USB hub between the Raspberry PI and the USB module, the one used below doesnвЂ™t due to itвЂ™s power consumption assuming you donвЂ™t have anything else drawing large currents from the USB power. The Raspberry Pi has many great features straight out of the box, unfortunatelyВ WiFi is not one of them, in this guide IвЂ™ll show you how I WiFiВ equippedВ my Raspberry PI for only a fiver.
