There are new posts on <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.raspberrypi.com\/viewforum.php?f=28\">the Raspberry Pi forums<\/a> every day looking to resolve these issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we are compiling all the answers (along with some of our own) into one ultimate guide to fix WiFi on your Raspberry Pi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you&#8217;ve plugged in your Raspberry Pi and it has booted up. So why won&#8217;t it connect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s first run through a quick checklist to make sure everything&#8217;s in order.

WiFi) with a name and password. SSID, or Service Set Identifier, is just a fancy way of saying &#8220;the name of the network&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you also need to configure the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, GB for Great Britain, JP for Japan, US for the United States, and DE for Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is extremely important, because WiFi channels have different specifications in different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/402142\/why-wi-fi-channels-12-13-and-14-are-illegal-in-the-usa\/\">WiFi channel 14 is actually illegal in most of the world<\/a>, but allowed in Japan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, double-check and make sure that you&#8217;ve set your Raspberry Pi OS to the correct country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your WiFi Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a bajillion ways to troubleshoot your configuration.

options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest would be to move them farther apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option would be to switch your WiFi frequency to 5 GHz, but that will shrink the range of your WiFi network. So, you&#8217;ll need to do that with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s always one more place to turn to fix WiFi on your Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Heat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with everything on the Raspberry Pi, heat can also affect the WiFi connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, if your Pi is consistently breaking 50\u00b0 Celsius (122\u00b0 Fahrenheit), then that could very well lead to problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you won&#8217;t be surprised to know that we&#8217;ve already written a number of articles on ways to keep your Pi cool:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/the-best-raspberry-pi-4-case-2023\/\">A Raspberry Pi case that acts as a heat sink<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/raspberry-pi-fan-pins-easy-cooling-solution\/\">Raspberry Pi fan pins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/how-to-check-cpu-temp-on-raspberry-pi\/\">How to check Raspberry Pi CPU temperature<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And so you should definitely check those out if you&#8217;re looking to cool your Pi down. And that will definitely ensure that your Pi won&#8217;t be overheating, destabilizing the WiFi connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-duotone-000000-0693e3-1\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Raspberry Pi\" class=\"wp-image-4750\" style=\"width:615px;height:346px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/picockpit.com\/raspberry-pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Raspberry-Pi-4-August-2023.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>So there you have it, the ultimate guide to fix all the things that could be keeping your Raspberry Pi from connecting to WiFi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your OS configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your WiFi configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your WPA supplicant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Power Management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Ethernet connection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Bluetooth connection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your heat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us know in the comments below if you have a WiFi issue that we didn&#8217;t solve with any of these solutions &#8211;
