Wifi not working even with adapter on Jetson Nano

I was given a Jetson Nano several days ago which I am using connected to a monitor. I installed the software from the official NVIDIA page and everything works fine except for wifi. I have an Edimax EW-7611ULB wifi adapter that I have plugged into the nano. In the terminal, if I run ‘lsusb’, the computer recognizes that there is something in the wifi port, but if I try to activate wifi using ‘nmcli device’ in the terminal, there is no option for wlan0. I have tried reinstalling the Jetson’s software, but it doesn’t help. My external keyboard and mouse, also connected through usb work, but the adapter. Could anybody help resolve this issue? Thank you.

Please check Edimax EW-78111Un V2 wifi setup - Jetson & Embedded Systems / Jetson Nano - NVIDIA Developer Forums to see if can help.

Apologies, I typed the wrong model. The adapter is actually an Edimax EW-7611UCB. So sorry for the mistake.

Hi,
We support Jetson Nano on Jetpack 4 which is with Kernel 4.9. Please check if the device is supported on the kernel version, and if additional kernel drivers has to be enabled.

Generally we support WIFI/BT modules in M.2 Key-E slot, such as intel 8265. You may try to get one and give it a try.

I do not see a M2 slot on the board. It is a Jetson Nano P3450. I also tried installing the driver files for the Edimax EW-7611UCB multiple times, but I just get errors again and again.

Hi,
The M.2 key E slot is under the module. Please check the video:
