Manually Set Wifi

I need to send the pis off to a location that I will no longer have access to. I need to manually set the wifi ssid and password before I send them off. However, I noticed that the wpa_supplicant is not being used. I’ve tried the raspi-config but it wants to find the ssid before it commits it.

How can I manually set the wifi creds before I ship these off?

@bsparks, let me take a closer look at it. How is Anthias installed on these devices—did you use the installer script or did you use the release images?

I did use the installer script on these.

@bsparks, thanks. I’m still checking other possible solutions.

Thank you Nico! I’ve tried to add the wpa_supplicant file but that didn’t work. I appreciate your help.

Do you think I could run some shell script set on a cronjob? If wifi is not set, then let’s activate the network manager and add in the details.

@bsparks, yes. Feel free to try to come up with a cronjob in the meantime. It’s an option since Wi-Fi details are known.
