Connect your raspberry pi to Wi-Fi network (Command Line)

Hi Everyone,

Was messed up with work,  so couldn’t  post last 2 days. Better late than never.  Today I am covering how to connect to wi-fi network using command line(raspberry pi). So have a look –

Step 1 – 

Leave your wi-fi adapter placed on table. No need to connect it for now and open Linux terminal by clicking on its icon.

Step 2 –

Write following command and press ENTER –

$  sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Step 3 –

Editor window will open  –

Step 4 –

Change text in quotes against  ‘wpa-ssid’  option with your SSID (wi-fi network name) and text against ‘wpa-psk’ option with your wi-fi network password(security key).

Step 5 –

To save this file press CTRL+O and then press ENTER

Step 6 –

Shut down your raspberry pi, plug wi-fi adapter in USB port and Restart it. Your raspberry pi will automatically get connected to your wi-fi network.

Tomorrow i will be covering some wi-fi and ethernet issues of raspberry pi as promised in my previous post. Till then – Stay Tuned – Stay Connected 🙂

And please don’t forget to give your comments and feedback. I am quite hungry of them.
