Wi-Fi Setup

If WiFi was not setup via the OS Customization options in the Pi Imager UI you can follow these steps to setup your network.

Mount the SD card or EMMC on your computer and open the root filesystem directory.

Create a new NeworkManager connection profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

Name the file YourNetworkSSID.nmconnection and make sure to replace YourNetworkSSID and YourNetworkPassword.

Create a file called wpa_supplicant.conf

Edit the file in a text editor.

Replace <YOUR TWO LETTER COUNTRY CODE> with your country code, ie US.

Replace <YOUR NETWORK NAME> and <YOUR NETWORK PASSWORD> with your network info.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=<YOUR TWO LETTER COUNTRY CODE>

network={
    ssid="<YOUR NETWORK NAME>"
    psk="<YOUR NETWORK PASSWORD>"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Save the file. On the next boot of the Pi, it will move the file to /etc/wpa_supplicant/
