Wait like 30mins to be sure that it's fully booted

#

Also check that you have used the correct coutry code and that the SSID of your WIFI is written correct with correct upper and lower case

do capitals matter?

neon pagoda Oct 24, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

What do you mean?

merry iris Oct 24, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

US vs us

neon pagoda Oct 24, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

Tbh, I don't know ^^
The thing the pi imager is writing when you select it, should be good

#

To be sure, use US

#

the pi's light is flickering, i assume this is ok?

neon pagoda Oct 24, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

That means it's doing something

merry iris Oct 24, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

should i use 64 bit?

neon pagoda Oct 24, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

Yes

#

32 bit just makes problems and it has no benefit

merry iris Oct 24, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

i will wait for it to boot then

merry iris Oct 24, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

@neon pagoda it flashes only occasionally now

neon pagoda Oct 24, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

Please don't ping me, I also have other things to do. So just wait for a response

#

#
