How to configure Wi‑Fi on Windows IoT Core

JohnDoe

I'm trying to set up Wi‑Fi on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows IoT Core. The device boots fine, but after powering it up I can't see any wireless networks in the Wi‑Fi settings. I've tried using the netsh wlan commands, but they return ERROR: The wireless LAN service is not available.

Has anyone successfully connected Windows IoT Core to a WPA2‑Enterprise network? Any step‑by‑step guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure the Wi‑Fi driver is properly installed. On IoT Core you need to use the Windows.Devices.WiFi API; the built‑in WLAN service is not enabled by default.

Run the following PowerShell command on the device:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName WirelessLAN

After that, reboot the device and you should see the networks.

For WPA2‑Enterprise you need to add a profile XML. See the Microsoft docs for an example. Use netsh wlan add profile filename=\"WiFiProfile.xml\" after you copy the file to the device.
