BRAND NEW RP 3+ - WONT CONNECT TO WIFI
This is a brand new board, just placed in case and OctoPrint image flashed onto sd, network has been configured but cannot find it AT ALL on the network map or even via the ip browser on my local network. Is not connected. Power to board seems fine so maybe wifi is dead. Need help asap

Did you use the latest image from the Pi foundation? I'd recommend trying Raspbian.
