I am trying to get the SD card ready for my RPi zero 2W. In the RPi imager I have entered the SSID FRITZ!Box 3490 and the pasword. I can then save the image tothe SD card.
When I put the SD card into the zero then I cannot see the the zero in the IP scanner.
I think the problem migt be the SSID because it has a space between the FRITZ!Box and the number 3490. I have tried to enter the wifi as per instructions for adding a wifi connections but I get the answer that !Box is a problem. Although I have put the SSID in " ". Has anybody got an idea as to what I am doing wrong? I have another node working with a RPi3B without any problems.
Where are you seeing the error? Is the error being reported by the Raspberry Pi Imager? Are you trying to create the image on a Windows system? a Mac? a Linux host?
If it’s a Windows system then this could be a known issue (rpi-imager #869).
Hi, Thanks for your answer. I am using WIN11.
I see the comment on the Terminal when I try the add a wifi connection.
I have now loaded ASL3 to my zero but there is no wifi setup although I added it to the RPi imager.
I have just loked at rpi-imager #869. It appears to be the same problem. I guess I will just have to wait for an update. My knowledge is restricted to copying instructions. I am 76 years old and just like to construct things. There are many very clever people around and I am very thankful that they solve such issues. Once agin many thanks for your kind answer. 73 de paul OE8PCK
Now It works!!! I now used the RPi Imager ver. 1.9.0 and the wifi was correctly installed.
I am Happy and now I have to etup the ASL3. Thank you once again for the excellent help. i hope this answer helps other people too.
