Wireless

This section describes how to use the wireless network card function on the Raspberry Pi (as used below), laying the foundation for subsequent project development.

Note: The PCIe interface must be enabled before using this function.

Enable PCIe Interface

  • Enabling the PCIe gen3 interface (PCIe gen2 is enabled by default)
    • Edit the config.txt file
      sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
    • PCIe defaults to gen2. To enable PCIE gen3, add the following to config.txt
      dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
    • After modification, reboot the Raspberry Pi to recognize the device
      sudo reboot
    • After reboot, check the PCIe recognition status (the output may vary depending on the module)
