WiFi Settings

Connect your Pi to a wireless network or join a hidden network — all from the browser, no terminal required.

WiFi Settings

Current Connection

The top of the page shows your current WiFi status: network name (SSID), signal strength, and IP address.

Connecting to a Network

  1. Tap Scan to see available networks nearby
  2. Tap a network name in the list
  3. Enter the password in the dialog that appears
  4. Tap Connect

The signal icon next to each network shows relative strength. Your currently connected network is marked so you can see it at a glance.

Joining a Hidden Network

If your network doesn't broadcast its name:

  1. Tap Join Hidden Network
  2. Type the network name (SSID) manually
  3. Enter the password
  4. Tap Connect

After Connecting

The Pi connects to the new network and the status at the top updates. If the connection fails — wrong password, network out of range — an error message appears and you can try again.

Note: If you change WiFi networks, the Pi's IP address will change. You'll need to reconnect your browser using the new address.

No WiFi Adapter

If the Pi doesn't have a wireless adapter, this page shows a "No WiFi adapter found" message. Wired Ethernet is still available and works without any configuration.
