Hello.
I’m a newbie trying to get this instructables project done http://www.instructables.com/id/Touchscreen-Internet-Radio-Raspberry/?ALLSTEPS
I’m stuck at the first step, which is to get my Raspberry Pi Model B connected to the Internet. The dongle is not flashing, so I’m not sure if I should be installing drivers on the Pi, but how should I go about doing so?
This is the dongle I’m using http://www.tp-link.com/en/search/?exact=1&q=TL-WN823N#tbl_a and I’m using Volumio version 1.41 for this.
Hi,
Have you had a look here : https://volumio.org/forum/wireless-adapter-compatibility-list-t2150.html ?
Hi Balbuze,
yes I have. The dongle is listed on the list as shown below.
Adapter Name: TP-LINK TL-WN823N 300Mbps
Chipset: Realtek RTL8192CU
Driver/Firmware: tp-link.com/en/support/downl … n=V1#tbl_a
Working with Volumio: YES
Tested Versions and Platforms: VERSION: 1.55
Buying Link: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0088TKTY2
I’m not sure how I should go about doing setting it up, as the only instruction that I followed that let it work is from here: tp-link.com/en/search/?exact … 823N#tbl_a
If it helps, below is what I see when accessing /etc/network/interfaces by default on Volumio
[code]
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto etho0
iface eth0 inet dhcp[/code]
Hope that helps!
I figured it out! 
Turns out the issue is that I put the line
allow-hotplug wlan0in etc/network/interfaces which seems to have created an issue. Was following this adafruit tutorial (https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup.pdf) to the T, but turns out I only need to enter
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "ssid"
wpa-psk "password"
I successfully SSH into the PI now! ^^
