Hi,

my raspberry py is not connecting to my ( hidden ) wifi network.
Other devices are connecting to this network,
so I'm sure it is working, and name and password are correct
So why is it not working?

Because a hidden wifi network doesn't broadcast its name,
You have to tell the raspberry pi to scan for it.


add

Code: Select all

scan_ssid=1
in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

or

Code: Select all

wpa-scan-ssid 1
in /etc/network/interfaces/wlan0
