Adding A RaspberryPI Pi to a WiFi Network on Command Line

For many years, I have been a proud owner and user of a Raspberry PI, and in particular, a Model 4.

I use it to run a bunch of Docker containers, one of which is the excellent PiHole that keeps the traffic within my network ad-free.

Recently, I wanted to change the WiFi network it was operating on and found, to my consternation, that the mouse had died.

How then, could I get the device to join a network?

The terminal to the rescue!

Run this command

sudo raspi-config

This will launch raspi-config, a utility to configure various options on the device.

Select 1, System Options.

Next, S1, Wireless LAN.

You can now key in the SSID and access key.

TLDR

The raspi-config tool allows you to configure various aspects of your Raspberry Pi.

Happy hacking!
