I ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B a few weeks ago. Upon receiving it, I flashed RPI OS Lite onto it, and immediately had problems with the wifi not connecting. When I was flashing it, I put it the network details for my home network as I was planning to use that. After that I plugged in Ethernet and tried many troubleshooting steps, but I couldn’t get it to work. The Pi detected the onboard Wifi and external Wifi that I tried, but both were marked as unavailable.
I did some more research, and ended up trying a EEPROM Flash, but when I put the sd card in, the green light just kept flashing and I let it run for 30 minutes before shutting it off. I also tried the USB boot for the EEPROM Flash, but it did not boot off the USB, and both lights remained solid.
How, specifically did you 'flash' RasPiOS Lite on the boot medium? Using what 'workstation' platform. Using what app or utility. What version of that tool.I ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B a few weeks ago. Upon receiving it, I flashed RPI OS Lite onto it, and immediately had problems with the wifi not connecting.
