Raspberry Pi WiFi Troubleshooting.txt
1. Check that your Raspberry Pi actually has a WiFi Module built in :-)
2. Check your wpa_supplicant.conf File in /boot directory (Here's an example file: https://gist.github.com/alexabruck/16e3f04ae1d9c883bf5b1f1b5c9d08b2)
- formatting (no whitespace around the equal signs)?
- country code correct?
- typos?
- windows line endings are problematic
3. Check your Router settings
- Is a MAC Filter active?
- 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Raspberry Pi Zero will only work with 2.4GHz
- Is the SSID hidden? If yes, then you need to add scan_ssid=1 to the network settings in wpa_supplicant.conf File
