Hi,
I have a WL-USB Edimax EW-7811Un that worked well with Logitech Media Server. However with Pi Musicbox it does not seem to work?
I have entered the WiFI credentials as Wifi name = name of the network and password = wpa-network key.
But Musicbox is only detected when Lan is plugged in.
Try checking dmesg right after pluging the device in. Should give you some hints, but likely it’s just a missing driver.
You mean I power up the RPI with a screen and a keyboard connected and then I type ‘dmsg’? Thanks…

this driver
Thanks but the link seems to point me to a multitude of download possibilities. How do I find the suitable one? Also: how can I install a driver on a RPI?
Thanks. It does find the Realtek 802.11nvWLAN Adapter but i can’t really determine if the dongle is set up or if it is just found. It is quite a list I get.

the page that I linked answers those questions.
“This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Realtek 802.11n chips on Debian systems.”
but you need to read it.
