Have copied and pasted your instructions to my terminal.

If your WiFi connection is successful, you’ll see a message like this: Your WiFi network name should appear under ESSID: 'YOUR WIFI NETWORK NAME', in my case it’s 'Siamese'. Test the WiFi ConnectionĪfter you log back into the Pi, check the status of your WiFi connection by typing iwconfig at the command prompt. Once you get that, SSH with PuTTY using the IP address for the WiFi port. The IP will be different on WiFi, so you’ll need to use Advanced IP Scanner to find the new one. Up to this point we were SSHing to the Pi with the local IP address on the ethernet port. Unplug the Pi from power, and disconnect the ethernet cable from your internet router. Now shutdown the Pi by entering sudo poweroff at the command prompt.

Now press Ctrl-X and Y to exit and save changes to the file. Re-enter your network name in the id_str='YOUR WIFI NETWORK NAME' line.

The entry for psk='YOUR WIFI PASSWORD' is the password you normally use to login to the network. The letters are case sensitive, and the ” ” marks should be left in. The entry for ssid='YOUR WIFI NETWORK NAME' is the name of your wireless network, typed exactly as it appears when you connect to your WiFi from another computer.
