Hey, thanks for the quick reply. This is what I had done.
I found the answer here in the end: New ropieee install and wifi
Added the network config through ssh in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf and now it is working.
Also for some reason nano was not working so I had to play around with some vi, which I had not done in some time.
Here is what I did, if it can help someone:
ssh root@ropieee.local (password is root)
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
or
nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
Add your wifi config this way:
network={
ssid=“wifi name”
psk=“wifi password”
}
Save and quit, then reboot the Pi with the reboot command. And it will be working like a charm.
