I’m clearly missing something basic, but I’m trying to set up a WiFi dongle so that my PYNQ-Z2 board can connect to my local network. I don’t have an ethernet port on my computer, nor am I able to physically connect the PYNQ board to the router/modem at my location. So I need a way to configure th…

PYNQ needs Python 3.6, so just change the python command to python3 Cathal

Thank you Cathal – that fixed it. For reference and others’ benefit, here is the full setup that worked for me. I’m on a mac laptop (Catalina). The PYNQ-Z2 board is powered from my laptop via a USB-C to USB-Micro cable. Step-by-step instructions Start with PYNQ board powered down Ensure the SD…

The WIFI module that does not work for you requires some additional kernel configurations; we will resolve this in the next release.

Hi Rock, this is my first post in this forum here. Thank you for your help. I am using the TP-Link model TL-WN725N Wifi adapter and have the exact same problem, that my PYNQ Z2 board doesn’t find the adapter. What you recommend me to do? Thanks again and with best wishes, Lars

I would recommend to use the Raspberry Pi Wifi adpater.

Hi Rock, thank you for your answer, but unfortunately this is not a valid solution, I am sorry. First, I don’t know which adapter you mean and second there must be some kind of technical procedure to check, why the PYNQ Z2 board doesn’t find my adapter. Can you help me with this issue please. I re…

Hi Rock, thank you for your answer. Can you help me please with enabling this configuration setting in the kernel please? I have no experience in Linux kernel development, however I have experience in programming various languages. So, what would be the easiest procedure? Thanks again and with be…

I think the easiest way is to get one of the wifi modules as some people claimed working before. E.g. EASTECH Ralink RT5370 Raspberry PI WiFi Adapter. For me, I am using this one without any issue. If you really need to make your current module work, you will need to adjust the kernel configuratio…

Hi Rock, today I changed the Wifi adapter and now I can connect to my local Wifi :slight_smile: Can you just point me in the right direction, how to store permanent the Wifi credentials on the board, so that it will connect to my local red automatically when booting up? Thanks again, with best wis…

I think this might be helpful: Starting PYNQ Programs At Boot But there could be easier ways. I am guessing in the next release we will add automatic reconnection.

@lindnerlars which one did you use? As it might be hard to get the one @rock suggests, I would find another with the same Ralink 5370 chipset so I’d like to know if that worked for you. Thanks.
