Capitalized US to no avail. I've also reorganized my code. The only special characters in my passkey would be the same as any in "P@$$W0rd!"
Took a stab at reorganizing the code to fit other formats i've seen, and no dice.
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
country=US
network={
ssid="Network Name"
psk="P@$$w0rd!"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
This is the sole device to have issues getting connected to my wireless network.
Is your wi-fi zone on your router hidden?
Is this a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (emphasis on the plus)? Sounds like it's not but it's worth checking. The new ones appear to have limited range.
(Having connected via Ethernet or by logging in locally on the Raspi), can we get the output of both...
ifconfig
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
SSID is not being hidden, and it's just the RPi3 Model B

Well, it sees your wi-fi network, it's participating in some traffic but it hasn't linked in nor has it received an IP address from your router (which you know of course). The signal strength is likely strong enough. Your router supports WPA/WPA2 so your octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt file is correct.
It looks like you've got an Ethernet cable attached. If that's not the case then there's a mixup of device names. There's a setting in sudo raspi-config that can re-assign device names for some reason but I'll assume that you've got an Ethernet cable plugged in for this.
I think I would try a dmesg to see if anything shows up.
Visit sudo raspi-config to adjust Localisation -> Country and Timezone and reboot.
I just bought a raspberry pi 3 B+ and I successfully setup OctoPrint but the is problem when I switch to WiFi it connects to the WiFi router successfully but It can’t access the site or the SSH but when I switch back to LAN everything works perfectly but it’s just with WiFi it can’t be reached at all .
Hi!
Do you connect by IP or via octopi.local?
I am using the IP Address.
So you are aware, that the WiFi connection uses another IP?
When you are connected to the Pi via cable, login via SSH.
There you type in
ifconfig
Then you get a list of the connectors.
it looks like this

pi@octopi:~ $There you can find your actual IP addresses.
With mine, wlan0 has zero entries because I do not use WiFi.
I found mine but when I enter it still no response .

When I ping the address it times out
The lan IP is 10.0.0.107
and the WiFi IP is 172.16.0.4 ?
That is weird, those are complete different networks...
Do you connect via the same router?
Basically my network starts from modem then it goes to my Cisco switch and the from the switch it goes to my computer but also from the switch which a 24 port I have it going to my Netgear NightHawk as well . But for the cable that is going to my computer it goes to a mini switch which let me connect other stuff such as 2nd computer or a ip phone on my desk.
So as I understand, the NightHawk grants internet accessibility for you IP phone (and maybe smart phones etc).
This router provides another IP range (172.16.0.x) for these devices.
Your PC is locked to the 10.0.0.x IP address range and is therefor not able to see, neither connect the OctoPrint server/Raspberry Pi via WiFi.
You could reconfigure the WiFi router to your 10.0.0.x address range to get access from your PC to the WiFi devices.
Forwarding could also be possible.
The computer is through the 24 port Cisco switch which the nighthawk is also connected to the same switch but if I type the address on my phone it won’t show up even though my phone is connected to the same network as the pi via WiFi .
That was my thinking, that your smart phone would have connection to OctoPrint/RasPi.
I had a similar installation some time ago: My main modem router did all the routing. On a distant point of the LAN I installed an old modem router with WiFi. With that one I switched off the router and modem abilities that only the LAN switch and the WiFi access point had been left over. That worked fine in a single IP range.
My modem has it’s own WiFi as well , I’ll try to connect the pi to that instead of the nighthawk , I’ll let you know if it works or not , but during the mean time I’ll draw a graph of my network setup just Incase to show to you and others if needed .
So I tried the the WiFi that’s built in the modem and when I type the ip for address for the WiFi via lan it works but when the lan is disconnected the address is no longer reachable , this is honestly giving me a headache 
.
Do you have another wifi connected to your network that you can access? Can you access it from another computer connected to the same wifi network? It seems like a routing problem to me, not octopi.
In a case where you don't really understand the nuances of routers/firewalls/routing I think I'd suggest simply connecting your printer via Ethernet and do it that way. Networking is complicated; I've been an I.T. guy forever and it's not that easy.
For what it's worth, I'd guess that the default netmask for the 172.16.0.0 address range isn't /24 as your ifconfig thinks it is. Your NightHawk is probably configured incorrectly if it's bringing in new connections with the wrong netmask.
