Repetier Server Raspberry Pi 1 B support - No WiFi Networks

Hello everyone,
So I loaded up the repetier server image for Raspberry Pi on the RPi 1 B however, I am not seeing any WiFi access point on the configuration page. I am using a TP-Link TL-WN722N stick for connectivity. Has anyone had a similiar problem and / or knows a solution?

    You see that page only with our pi image and if the wifi driver is supported by linux out of the box. Check with ifconfig if a wireless lan appears. It could also be that it has a different name then wlan0.

    I can access the page fine and the adapter is called wlan0. I don't remember if the WiFi driver has native support for Linux, but it should have when I am able to connect to the Access Point, shouldn't it?

    If you see the access point what is the problem then? With our image it should then also appear in global settings->wlan->connection settings and you can change it or add wifi password to connect to wifi then.

    The Problem is that I cannot see any other access point on the WLAN page. I want to connect the server to my wifi but I don't get any access points listed there to connect to, even refreshing the list doesn't help. I live in quite a big living complex so I should at least see a few wifi networks but I see none.

    I see now why I wasn't understood at first. I can connect fine to the AP that the RPI is hosting, but I want to connect the RPI to my wifi network and I can't find my network (or to be more specific, no network) listed on the wifi configuration page of the browser interface.

    Not all wifi sticks can be access point AND check for networks. Try connecting through ethernet and set AP to always disabled and see if then a list appears if linux wifi is not in AP mode.

    Okay, the ethernet workaround did it. I was able to configure my WiFi and now I am the proud owner of a wifi-enabled 3d-printer. Thanks for the help.
