    The problem is….. After following the procedure, onboard wifi is being disabled. Thats why the IP is missing. Reflash the card with new NOOBS

    Hi So I am not seeing my raspberry pi on wifi. I made sure that the user name and password are correct but I still can’t see it. When I take my SD card and look at it after I try to login I found that the SSH and the wpa_supplicant are no longer there. Maybe it has something to do with it? I have tried to do this several times and I still didn’t get the Raspberry pi to show on my devices.

      That Happens after loading the sd card that files will disappears. That’s is normal.

      network={
      ssid=”Krishnaraj’s iPhone”
      psk=”password”
      }

      Please be careful while writing ssid(WIFI) exact name with capital small and space, Dont delete “” marks.

    I can connect to the raspberry pi using ethernet cable, but I am not able to connect using wifi. I have followed all your steps. But the remote desktop is not connecting.

      If you are able to connect with the Ethernet cable then kindly connect it with it and connect with your wifi. Then after disconnect ethernet cable.

      Connect your laptop or PC to wifi in which your raspberry pi is already connected. Then using putty and remote desktop you can connect with rpi.
