Can't get WiFi set up

Hi all,

I can’t get the WiFi set up. I used Etcher to flash the image onto my SD card. Then went into the boot partition (only one that comes up on Windows). Created a folder called CONFIG then network and finally a file with no extension called my-network.

Went in and added the following from the howto:

[connection]
id=my-network
uuid=72111c67-4a5d-4d5c-925e-f8ee26efb3c3
type=802-11-wireless

[802-11-wireless]
mode=infrastructure
ssid=MY_SSID (changed to my actual WiFi name)
# Uncomment below if your SSID is not broadcasted
#hidden=true

[802-11-wireless-security]
auth-alg=open
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
psk=MY_WLAN_SECRET_KEY (changed to my password)

[ipv4]
method=auto

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=auto

I get a string of looping errors when it loads on the Pi saying - IPV6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

I’m pretty sure I don’t have IPV6 on my router. I also tried removing that section from the my-network file but no go.

What I’ve noticed is when Pi gets stuck on that loop, when I plug the SD card into the PC my network folder has been deleted. I’ve tried unplugging from the PC after adding the folder and my-network file, and when I put it straight back in the folder is still there.

Can I not just create a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the hassos-boot location? I did that for a different home assistant.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Try to change router configuration so that the channel number for WiFi is below 10.
