If you’re employing a Raspberry Pi Zero, confirm it is a Raspberry Pi Zero W, not a basic Zero (only the W supports wifi and Bluetooth).If you’re employing a Raspberry Pi Zero W, confirm you’re attempting to attach to a 2.4GHz network (the Zero doesn’t support 5G).Connect the Pi to a TV or monitor via HDMI to make sure it’s booting normally.Double-check that the file has disappeared from your boot.Double-check that the file was written in plaintext, with no special characters.I also tried: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdevĪ Raspberry PI network configuration guide is here Here's my supplicant if anyone's curious but i dont think that's causing the issue: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev I'm out of ideas on why my pi can't connect to the network.thoughts? I tried researching and googling and couldn't find an answer. Not sure if that would somehow cause any issues. Is it possible that the NetGear router being chained to it is causing an issue? It still has an old 2.4G ssid running on it with a different name than my TP-Link 2.4G ssid. I also tested using an HDMI and monitor so Rasbian works but the wifi doesn't for some reason.Īll of my home devices are connected to the TP-Link router no problem. When I plug the SD card back into the laptop the wpa_supplicant and ssh files disappear appropriately so it's booting.

I tried connecting my Pi (headless) to the 2.4g TP-Link Network and couldn't get it to work using Raspbian with a wpa_nf & blank ssh on /boot/ and then trying PiBakery. I have a NetGear modem/router (2.4G) connected with a TP-Link AX1800 Wifi 6 router (2.4g and 5g networks) connected to it with an ethernet cable.
