Get ready to have some fun playing around with your Atlas3D!

#Country=GB
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev

network={
ssid="MicroSmart"
psk="**********"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP WEP104 WEP40
auth_alg=OPEN
}

Uriah got me to change it to:

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

network={
ssid="MicroSmart"
psk="**********"
}

Now it works correctly, I did however have problems saving the wpa_supplicant.conf file using "sudo nano".  When I would save and exit nano it would change the file back to it's original state, so I saved the file and then rebooted which worked well yielding a working WIFI connection.

Hope this helps and thanks to all who helped.

I think your right in that it has something to do with my router setup but I just can't fine what it is.  All other WIFI devices I have all work great and I have never had any problems.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and see if it mentions anything like your dongle name in the list of files to update. If so, let it update

If the dongle works correctly on another wifi router, then I would guess the issue is not Altas, raspberry pi or dongle related, it is something between your wifi router and the dongle. What type/make of wifi router do you have?  And can you access its admin interface from a web browser? verify that it is running with b,g and n protocols enabled (that dongle does not support 802.11a, your router may be old or configured only for "a")

Couple of tips - wifi network names and passwords can case sensitive. Look for any leading/trailing spaces/whitespace when you enter the settings.

The dongle is a Realtek RTL8188EU and the driver for Windows can be found at:

What brand  and model is it? It should have come with a disk. Also you would need linux drivers for the Pi. Then there is also the issue that your Pi or your dongle may not be compatible at all with linux.

In wifi you have different channels you can use in case one channel is getting interference from something or another wifi setup. You need to make sure the channel on the dongle is the same as the one in your routers settings.

I have tried turning encryption off and still no luck.  Do you think the WIFI dongle isn't working correctly even though it sees the SSID?

The USB thing is odd.  You're using the power supply that came with the kit?

The encryption method is WPA-2.  Do you thing that might be a problem??  What encryption are you using?
