pi3b help needed
#hardware
WILLIAM D.
Ok I need help.
Im new to the PI and I bought a new pi 3b.
I can put the android system on there but for some reason the wifi thats built in does not work. I installed android and got that running but the wifi just turns on then off. Ethernet connection works great but I cant use it as it has to be wireless.
Its going to run the app for my cameras that are all hooked to a DVR that has constant ethernet internet. Im trying to get the cameras on a monitor in another room.
The only issue I have is the wireless wont work and I know that has been an issue as so far I have read on the internet.
I can put an android OS on it or the Raspberry PI OS with the desktop with no issues. Just cant get the damn wireless to work.
Is there a wireless dongle that I can use and if so, which one and how do I put the drivers in for that.
Please help guys..I want to learn but nothing is working.
You can PM me of tag me in responses...Ill even pay for it. |
Have you run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade -y to update Raspbian?
Also, is your wifi only the 5ghz band?? Pi 3B only supports 2.4ghz wifi

Not all pi 3's are wireless. I don't know if you've already solved the problem, but in case it's still an issue: when I hooked up a pi version 3 at your place using ethernet, I then plugged in your hdmi monitor and a keyboard and used the home screen (if you have a text prompt then type startx to get the home screen). In the upper right-hand corner is a network symbol and I clicked on it to launch the wi-fi setup. I was using the current raspbian setup, not an android installation. I don't know whether the pi I left there is a wired or a wireless. If that's the one you are using and it turns out to be wifi-less then I usually use a wireless usb dongle to add the wifi. I have a usb wireless dongle up here if you don't want to wait on an order.On Wed, May 17, 2023 at 4:15?PM N5XMT <dacooley@...> wrote:

Pi2 was the last full size pi without wireless. PiZero is the only one still made without wireless

Sorry Randy, you misspoke on this. I also have 3-3Bs and 4-3B+s, and all have onboard WiFi. They are all used as IOT devices, connected via WiFi with no external adapters.

And I have multiples of both.

As far as wifi differences, 3B is only 2.4ghz. 3B+ is dual band 2.4ghz and 5ghz
