Cannot connect RetroPie to Wi-Fi OR Bluetooth
-
@mitu I have tried connecting with a config file, however I will give it another shot.
Also what do you mean by the Bluetooth radio?
-
@xerozkeel I have tried selecting the country, but to no avail. I did just start with a new flash, but I do not have an available usb keyboard. I might try booting a Wi-Fi file from a config again, to see if that works.
-
@mitu I got no result. It still isn’t connected to the internet after unplugging the Ethernet, making the file and booting it. It still says to set my Wi-Fi country after turning it on.
-
@JoeyAW If you're connected via Ethernet, the Wi-Fi isn't started, so any configurations should be tested on Wi-Fi only.
-
@mitu I always unplug it from Ethernet and it does not do anything. Even after editing the config file it still says my country isn’t specified. I think I’m gonna try installing raspberry pi OS and seeing if that connects. It it doesn’t, I might have accidentally physically damaged my board. Is that possible? One time before I installed it I attempted to slide in the SD card, but accidentally slid it into the case and onto the board. Could that have damaged the Wi-Fi?

Could that have damaged the Wi-Fi?
Unlikely.
-
@mitu Ok, is there anything else I could try or is it just done?
-
@mitu So I flashed raspberry os onto another sd card. Same problem, unable to connect to network.
-
@JoeyAW Can you post the
dmesgoutput from the system on pastebin.com ? -
@mitu I fixed it! There was a problem with the Wi-Fi links around the house, as i was in the back room. It appears that the keyboard has a problem, so that is probably fine as I connected a ps3 controller via Bluetooth. Thank you!
