Retroflag GPI - pi0 W unable to connect to wifi

Try this.

If you boot to terminal, type:

sudo raspi-config

Under network you can type in your exact wifi SID and password. On my Mac I simply roll the mouse over the wifi icon and I can see the name of my Wifi SID with a tick beside it. Make sure it’s character exact.

You will also need to find the wifi location and update it to Australia (AU). Can’t remember which menu it’s under, but you’ll find it in there.

Under interface options, turn on SSH.

Check your DHCP table on the router for an IP, device is typically called raspberry pi.

On my Mac I use terminal, type ssh pi@IP Address

Type Yes to the security warning.

It will ask you for the password (raspberry)
If that’s wrong you can change to in raspi-config menu.

If using a pc, most use putty.

This info should be fairly accurate, I’m not in front of my devices, just going off memory. If you get stuck there is heaps of YouTube videos to walk you through it.
