Fix wifi on Raspberry Pi Devices

Introduction

In this post, we are going to fix wifi on raspberry pi 3 devices. We may have seen or we would be experiencing wifi problems on the raspberry pi 3 devices. I am currently doing this on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. We fix WiFi Connection problems on the Different OS’s that can be installed on Raspberry Pi 3.

What You should do to fiz wifi problems on raspberry pi 3

• Flash/Pen Drive. Minimum of 1 GB.
• A computer (except a Pi).

Basics

What we are going to do is simple. We will be uploading drivers to the Operating System we are currently running on. The Linux drivers for ARM based devices are identical for a device. We will copy driver from a working Operating System to our New WiFi unsupported Operating System.

Yes, it is safe to copy drivers from one Linux Operating System to another if both the Operating Systems are designed to run on the same device.
