I know that my question may look like trivial, but I spent 2 weeks for it and don't see any solution. I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with EDUP EP-N8508GS wifi dongle and want to setup wifi connection. The dongle was detected by system. I also can find desired hotspot with sudo iwlist wlan0 scan Here is my output of some commands:

  • Give this raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=69195 a look, first result when I searched: edup ep-n8508gs raspberry pi.

  • Thanks for your reply. I've already tried that manual but it gives no result. Raspbian Jessie can recognize my wifi dongle out of box, but I cannot connect to wifi with it.

  • Okay, you could have clarified in your question the Pi had detected the dongle. What do you mean by you cannot connect to Wi-Fi with it. I.e what specific bit of the connection process is your problem? If you look in the Wi-Fi manager do you see a list of available networks to connect to?

  • Everyone else who has asked the same question (there are hundreds) managed to paste config files into their question, which is the normal practice for this site.

I've found the solution! The first and main thing to check is WIFI router settings. I had WEP64 encryption selected on router and it was the cause of problem. Just switched to WPA2-personal and everything started to work. Thanks to all who commented above
