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
