Fix Wifi not Working on Raspberry Pi 3

raspberry's wifi

  1. Wait until the wifi detected
  2. Set your SSID and password normally by clicking network icon on panel. By example, your SSID is test and the password is testPassword.

  3. Open Terminal and use wpa_passphrase to generate encrypted password. The syntax is

    wpa_passphrase SSID password

    so, you can fill the SSID and password with your own. example,

    wpa_passphrase test testPaswword

  4. The result is…

    network={
	ssid="test"
	#psk="testpassword"
	psk=2a31f948285e8142463803ab5f019af1e9dbf17edb6d34befa9adf18bf7a16d3
}

  5. Go /etc/wpa_supplicant

    cd /etc/wpa_supplicant

  6. Open wpa_supplicant config

    sudo nano wpa_supplicant.conf

  7. You will see wpa_supplicant’s content like below

    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=ID
 
network={
	ssid="test"
	psk="testPassword"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

  8. Change the psk(password) with generated password

  9. The final result is (example)

    ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=ID
 
network={
	ssid="test"
	psk=psk=2a31f948285e8142463803ab5f019af1e9dbf17edb6d34befa9adf18bf7a16d3
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

  10. Save and quit from nano

  11. Reboot and wait until wifi connected icon appear
