Wifi won't work with Piaware config file, what am I missing?

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Hey guys,

I updated the config file to say no to ethernet, and yes to wifi, added the network SSID and password and can’t get it to connect. I have wifi on board, (pi 3), and even searched in terminal for networks so I know it’s working. My SSID has a “-” in it, so I put “” around the SSID, and password is just letters and numbers, no dice.

Any help?

Looks OK. What’s the output of ‘sudo iwlist scan’?

Also check syslog (look for dhclient / wpa_supplicant messages)

See below, note: my network is NOT showing up in this list…

Perhaps your WIFI network is on 5GHZ but Raspi is on 2.4Ghz? do you have any MAC Address filtering enabled on your WAP/Router?

7

Then it will not work; your Pi’s wifi can’t see your network.

Maybe your wifi is running on the 5GHz band? The builtin Pi 3 wifi is 2.4GHz only.

8

No it’s on 2.4 and no i have no mac filtering.

So my question is, if I have 30 in view on my mac, I should have 30 in view on the Pi? Or does the Pi limit the display when I search? Meaning can it see more than it shows? or it only shows what it sees?

9

It’s running wireless N is that why? I have to be B or G for pi?

10

The Raspberry pi built in Wifi is BGN 2.4GHz.
You can check what protocol your wireless device can use by using “sudo iwconfig” command.
Most wireless N networks are backward compatible.

If you don’t see your Wifi then you are probably not close enough. Easy to check by moving the raspberry pi to the same room as your router or by checking the wifi scan on your cellphone or laptop.
