[Unitree Go1] Can't properly connect to wireless network through Raspberry Pi

Software

I’m trying to connect to internet through a Unitree Go1 edu to - hopefully - install ros melodic packages, such as move_base, amcl and explore-lite; for a university project. However no matter what option i choose, no internet connection truly works.

  • The option for my University network is greyed out (possibly because it requires a username and password without CA certificate validation)
  • It connects to a hotspot on my phone, which is connected to the University network - does not work (tried pinging 8.8.8.8 or google.com, destination host unreachable)
  • Tried the hotspot using my mobile data, same result (destination host unreachable)
  • Successfully connected to a hidden network by writing an extra network to wpa_supplicant.conf, same result with pinging 8.8.8.8; but pinging google.com shows up as ‘Temporary failure in name resolution’. Nothing can be accessed via sudo apt update nor the built-in chromium browser.

Could these issues arise from having the incorrect timezone and region? It seems impossible to set it to the correct one (GMT+4)

Thanks in advance.

Please refer to the previous post

Also, yes setting the date and time is required for updating the packages but not for pinging the server

Thanks for linking to that thread. Following the same steps of deleting the eth0 connection (temporarily) through sudo ip route del default via 192.168.123.161 dev eth0, only then did a Wi-Fi dongle work. I made sure to add it back through sudo ip route add default via 192.168.123.161 dev eth0 after.
