Connecting to internet with wifi

[Adeste]

Hi
I have set static ip for the etho and wlano see config below. By sharing the internet connection on my ethonet I can get the bot to connect to the internet. This works fine. I have tried to get the bot to connect directly to my router/internet with no luck. Any pointers please
you can see some of my efforts commented out with a # in the "interfaces" file

Hi Adeste,

Not massively hot on Linux WiFi I'm afraid, but perhaps if you try getting rid of the static IP address and using something like the following, you may have more luck

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "SKY2EA28"
wpa-psk "QY*****"

If you can get another Pi SD card to connect over wifi then you should be able to use the same elements in your /etc/network/interfaces file.

Regards

Alan

Hi
Thanks. I thought it might require another card or another connection. I want to keep static addresses for remote internet access.

It works fine and happy to connect by ethernet for the odd time the bot needs updating etc.

Cheers Ade
