Connect Umbrel Raspberry Pi to WiFi (SSH access only ATM)

Support and Troubleshooting
2

Hello dhuyvetter,

We are sorry you are facing this issue. In order for your Raspberry Pi to be accessed through SSH - it has to be on the same network as the device you are “SSH’ing” through.

In order to setup wifi would require you to be able to SSH into the system. Which would then require you to be able to connect your Raspberry Pi to your internet.

In the event you find yourself a work around to the SSH issue - here is how you setup Wifi:

  • Create a file wpa_supplicant.conf in the boot partition of the microSD card with the following content. Note that the network name (ssid) and password need to be in double-quotes (like psk="password")
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev

update_config=1

country=[COUNTRY_CODE]

network={

 ssid="[WIFI_SSID]"

 psk="[WIFI_PASSWORD]"

}
  • Replace [COUNTRY_CODE] with the ISO2 code of your country (eg. US)
  • Replace [WIFI_SSID] and [WIFI_PASSWORD] with the credentials for your own WiFi.

We hope this helps,
Max
