TB3 SBC Wifi connection

I downloaded and installed the tb3-rpi4... iso file and restored it to a 64GB SD card then extended the partition.

I made the recommended edits per the e-Manual to configure my wifi network and password. Same data as all my other devices and GUI based PIs.

When booting to my PI, ifconfig shows no IP address for my network.


I tried to run sudo netplan apply but still no connection. Any clues would be greatly appreciated, thanks. How can I tell if the boot failed to connect or didn't even try 'cuz I made a mistake?

Hi Joe,


In some cases, WiFi channel could be different.

Please check your WiFi router and find the frequency range, then check the channel of the RPi with the below command.


$ iw wlan0 info


You'll see something like below (in my case, I'm using 5GHz Wifi)

Interface wlan0
	ifindex 3
	wdev 0x1
	addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
	ssid Zone_6A_5G
	type managed
	wiphy 0
	channel 149 (5745 MHz), width: 80 MHz, center1: 5775 MHz
	txpower 31.00 dBm

Depending on your location, you might need to change the country code then reboot the RPi to change the WiFi frequency range


$ sudo nano /etc/default/crda


Append your country code after the "REGDOMAIN="

For example,


REGDOMAIN=KR


Then save and reboot the Raspberry Pi and check if the WiFi channel is updated.


Thank you.
