Problems with Wi-Fi connectivity.

@bhepler Thanks for the reply. Can you point me to a good “how to” on disabling the on-board and enabling a wi-fi dongle.
-
@n8ms add to config.txt
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt(This also disables Bluetooth)

@nuckinfutz Will this disable both wlan1 and wlan0, wlan0 being the native wireless adapter? I currently have both active and the dongle is working great. I would trial and error it but I am trying to avoid disabling wireless and losing my SSH connection. Will have to open it all up and connect a keyboard to get it running again.

@n8ms Disables the onboard wireless. You might want to try bluetooth and a bluetooth keyboard. Why worry about the onboard? Just leave it.Doubt you are having power issues.

@nuckinfutz Excellent point, I’m not having power issues so I will probable just leave it how it is. Thanks for the input.
