3

On the motherboard of my Pi is written 'Raspberry Pi 3 Model B v1.2'. I was under the impression that Raspberry Pi 3 had a built-in Wifi interface. I installed Raspbian using NOOBS and ran the ifconfig command. The only adapters that show are eth0 and lo.

Does this version not come with a WiFi adapter or have I missed some required setup? My Bluetooth adapter is also not visible - when I click on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar it says `No Bluetooth adapter found'.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I've found that most of my chargers don't provide enough power to my PI3, even if the "under-voltage" icon doesn't show up. This causes the Wifi and Bluetooth to be disabled in an otherwise working system. An original Apple iPad charger did the trick.

How do I set up networking/WiFi/Static IP describes the setup methods.If these do not work you may have a faulty download, and I suggest you try again.

Did you check the checksum of the download?

As you have not indicated what you have possibly tried, no one can know.
