We are glad to help and chat with you on our Community Discord, but if you need help and want the best support possible you should, follow a few simple rules:

mossy nest
#

Your wifi has nothing to do with Klipper, therefore remove the tag

graceful vessel
#

how can i remove it?

mossy nest
#

Look closely at the picture and then again at the example

mossy nest
graceful vessel
#

yeah got it clicked the wrong thing

#

thx

mossy nest
#

OP original message:

tried manually thru sd card didnt connect now im in putty and dont seem to know what is wrongtried manually thru sd card didnt connect now im in putty and dont seem to know what is wrong

#

I deleted your message to get rid of your password. DO NOT SHARE YOUR PASSWORD PUBLICLY!!!!

mossy nest
graceful vessel
#

i did this yet it still didnt work

mossy nest
#

On the picture it was definitely wrong and not like the example

#

Example:```
network={

scan_ssid=1 ## Uncomment if your Wifi is hidden!

ssid="<Name of your wireless LAN>"
psk="<Password for your wireless LAN>"
}Yours:
network={

} # scan_ssid=1 ## Uncomment if your Wifi is hidden!
ssid="<Name of your wireless LAN>"
psk="<Password for your wireless LAN>"```

#

Do you see the difference?

graceful vessel
#

yeah

#

but i did that in the sd card

#

step by step and in putty thats what i got

#

didnt change anythin in putty yet

mossy nest
#

I can only work, with what you gave me. If you want to share it again, then share it in text form, via copy paste and mask your password and ssid

graceful vessel
#

ok

mossy nest
#

A different question how is your pi connected atm?

#

Via ethernet?

#

The whole file please

graceful vessel
#

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=PT

network={

} scan_ssid=1
ssid="#####"
psk="###"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN

#

yeah via ethernet

mossy nest
#

As you can see in the example I sent, you put the ssid, password, etc outside of the network {}, that's wrong and will not work

#

Another question, why did you add

        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        auth_alg=OPEN```Did some chatbot tell you to do this?
graceful vessel
#

no used the file that came with the program the wpa supplicant example

mossy nest
#

Which program, which example?

graceful vessel
#

mainsail and its called wpa supplicant exaample

mossy nest
#

You selected MainsailOS and MainsailOS should not have that, does it?

graceful vessel
#

Simple configuration for a typical WPA2 network

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US # US Country code

network={

} scan_ssid=1
ssid="<Name of your wireless LAN>"
psk="<Password for your wireless LAN>"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN

#

this

mossy nest
#

Where does this come from?

graceful vessel
#

also unrealated but i cant find the curly brackets in my kb for some reason could you help?

#

this came in the program file

mossy nest
#

Which programe file?

#

What did you do?

#

We do not provide such a file

#

Mainsail is just a WebUI, it doesn't care about your wifi

graceful vessel
#

must have been the person that sold it to me then im sorry i assumed it came in it

mossy nest
#

Ok, then that person got the file wrong

graceful vessel
#

actually it prob came with the raspberry pi programe not ralated to sail

mossy nest
mossy nest
mossy nest
#

I'm not using your kb layout

#

I can send you a picture of the german layout, but that's useless

graceful vessel
#

yup thx anyways

#

ok im gonna do what you said and sry for wasting you time

mossy nest
#

It's all good, but if you need help, we need precise answers

#

If you bought it second hand, then assuming things is pretty bad, as it can lead to confusion on both sides, as you just found out yourself ^^

graceful vessel
#

im gonna shut the printer down now and open sd il show you the file i said

mossy nest
#

Fyi, the pi is not your printer. Those are two different devices

#

The pi connects to your printer and you don't need to shutdown the printer, to shutdown the pi or vice versa

graceful vessel
mossy nest
#

31.12.2022, that's a pretty old file

graceful vessel
#

but yeah i see what you are saying the brackts should be after the commands not midway

mossy nest
#

If you started the system again, send the output of cat /etc/os-release, to check if the system is somewhat up to date

graceful vessel
#

oh i checked but the shutdown and its not at all up to date

#

ok thx for the help i will redo the wifi file and il tell you if it works

#

thats for the help

mossy nest
graceful vessel
#

sry had to pick up the kid from school gonna test it in 5 min

#

ok yeah as i suspected cause i tried this first it didnt work so what im gonna do but not right now cause im out of time is im gonna connect it to ethernet give it all the updates it wants and then im gonna try this if the updates dont give me compatability issues or anything i should work

#

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
country=<PT>
update_config=1

ap_scan=1 ## Uncomment if you wish, that wpa_supplicant handles AP Scan instead of HW Drivers

network={

scan_ssid=1 ## Uncomment if your Wifi is hidden!

ssid="<######>"
psk="<#####>"
}

#

this is what i gave it

mossy nest
mossy nest
graceful vessel
#

ok will do i will however do the wifi thing you said real quick and check

#

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
country=PT
update_config=1

ap_scan=1 ## Uncomment if you wish, that wpa_supplicant handles AP Scan instead of HW Drivers

network={

scan_ssid=1 ## Uncomment if your Wifi is hidden!

ssid="######"
psk="######"
}

#

yeah didnt work must be a compatability issue im checing the ip and my router and no new logs

#

ok il try updating il tell you how it goes

graceful vessel
#

ok so the printer randomly conneted to wifi after about 15 min

graceful vessel
#

ok updated and working on better print quality took the updates like a champ and works great
