[Solved] Raspberry 3B Octopi 0.17.0 WLan does not work :((

Hey there, I tried to get my fresh Raspberry 3B running with the onboard wifi.
I tried it now for several hours and tried a bunch of stuff...I try to break it down simple so that maybe someone can help me out :frowning:

Raspberry Pi 3B
Octoprint 0.17

-I flashed the SD with Etcher

  • edited the wpa_supplicant.conf with Notepad++

Boot --- Wifi?---Nope

Then I tried all kinds of stuff trough SSH in the configs...resulting in confusion and reflashed the Pi with a clean Image...

Using a USB-Wifi Stick didn't help either

wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether b8:27:eb:23:aa:2a  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

thats whats allways showed after ifconfig :frowning:
I searched the internet literally for hours without any result ....

anything else useful I should inform you guys with?

ps.: forgive me, dk why the text is so messed up

Use the </> icon for console output :wink:

Is any other device like your printer connected to your usb port? If yes try it without any connected devices.

Is your power supply sufficient?

Thanks.

Yes a webcam was connected to it (Logitech C270)
My power supply is a normal USB-Cable with a IPhone charger plugged in (1A Output)

I took the Pi this morning to my office an test it with another router, to make it isnt something with my WLAN

Will try it without the webcam aswell.

I guess the charger and the webcam are the problems.
First a phone charger isn't a sufficient power supply


and second 1A is barely enough for the pi itself

hmm you right about that, I never saw it that way...I will try to use something proper for testing in the future

thanks

I used a proper power supply set to 5.1V and tried everything without the cam conencted.

Flashed the microSD new with the latest release.
Edited the config once through PuTTY and once with Notepad++ and only changed the Network settings and the country.

Still no result :frowning: , LAN is ready WLAN is not connecting at all :frowning:

Got absolut no clue what the problem is :frowning:

Turns out, my router denied the acces via WLAN to almost every device (thanks EasyBox 804)...its now working properly. I just need to get a stronger repeater to recht my garage with the wlan.
Thanks for helping

I'm having the same issue. How did you fix this? Did you change some parameters on your router?
