Unable to connect to wifi

What is the problem?

After starting Octopi, it does not appear to be connected to the network. Cant access the server

What did you already try to solve it?

Created Octopi Image using Raspberry Imager. Tried editing the start up options to enter Wifi creds. Tried editing the octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt file with proper creds. Tried the Stable image as well as the other one. Tried 5 different micro SD cards, ranging from Walmart brand to Sony. Tried burning to a USB drive. Tried burning images from Windows as well as Raspberry Pi OS. Tried connecting to 2.4 as well as 5ghz access points.
The only successful Octoprint server I have been able to access is when installing it within a Raspberry Pi Os environment. Thats the only time i get an address shown in the "You may now open a web browser on you local network and navigate to any of the following addresses to access OctoPrint:" box.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

NA

Systeminfo Bundle

You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog... no bundle, no support, unless the reason you couldn't retrieve the bundle is your network issues

NA

Hello @kazbear !

You may connect an HDMI TV/monitor to the Pi to have a look onto the startup sequence.
If there is a WiFi/LAN connection, there should be the IP of the Pi at the at of that sequence.

THank you.

Yes, I've been monitoring that. I don't get an IP address, and I've checked my wifi router for connected devices. It does not show.

I have been reading the FAQs and such and its recomended that I NOT start a new topic... Sorry. Should I post inside that Mega topic instead?

I had this set up a couple years ago with the same pi hardware. The only thing thats changed is the wifi router/gateway. And I have been able to get it to work, but only after installing it in a PiOS environment already connected to the network

OK,
I ran raspi-config and reentered everything. That seems to have worked.
Thanks for listenting!
