  • Another Wi-Pi installation problem!

     

    I followed the Wi-Pi installation manual and the Wi-Pi would not work at all. I made sure that I followed the instructions in the manual, I did the ping and received no connection. Then I thought I would check to see if the Wi-Pi would work on Windows 7. I plugged it into my PC and had it install the drivers but I could not get it to work there either.

     

    Then I checked the Advanced Settings for the Wi-Pi and basically enabled all that I could under that section. The Wi-Pi still would work no matter what I did even though I disabled the PC's wifi connection and plugged the Wi-Pi in again.

     

    Even though I could not get it to work on Windows, I though that this might have changed something internally for the Wi-Pi and plugged it into the RPi and booted it up. The ping was pinged, the Web worked and ta-da! Just to make sure that it was not a one-time thing, I shut down the RPi and restarted it with success.

     

    By the way, I could not get the ifconfig to come up before, when the Wi-Pi was not working, but it does come up now.
