After several times searching the internet and finding several blog about static wifi ip-configuration for the rasp. I thought “Maybe it’s time to write a new instruction” ;). This instruction is usefull if you place you raspberry pi on place where you only have WiFi available.

Step 1 “Install OS”

Download and install “Raspbian” from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads on a SD-Card

Step 2 “Connect the Raspberry Pi and configure OS”
Connect the Raspberry Pi with a TV. HDMI – Keyboard – WIFI-adapter – Ethernet – Power adapter

Step 3 “Configure raspi”

Enable the following settings in the raspi-config

• Expand filesystem
• Enable SSH (under advanced options)

Reboot system!

Step 4 “WIFI settings”

• Configure wlan interface for static ip with following commands

$sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Network Interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface default inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface mywifisetting inet static
address 192.168.1.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

Save and Exit “nano editor” CTRL-O and CTRL X

• Configure wifi settings

$sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev

update_config=1

network={

ssid="THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_SID_WIFI"

psk="YOURWIFIPASSWORD"

proto=RSN

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

pairwise=CCMP

auth_alg=OPEN

id_str="mywifisetting"

}

Save and Exit

Reboot and disconnect Ethernet

Test! Connect with putty!

NOTE: Change your raspberry pi hostname if you have more than 1 raspberry pi in your network! 

sudo nano /etc/hostname

sudo nano /etc/hosts
