In this post, we will focus on configuring wifi network using “raspi-config” and connecting to wifi network. This allows us to do ssh to Raspberry Pi and transfer files using scp from the host computer.

  • Run the rasp-config command from Rpi shell to start the configuration
raspi-config command
  • From different configuration options available select Network-configuration.

  • In the network configuration, there are different options for configuring “Host Name”, Wi-Fi, and “n/w interface names”. Select Wi-Fi option to configure wifi network.

 

  • Select Wi-Fi to set SSID and password, you can enter SSID and password of the network.
