Image installation on RPi 1 B - WiFi not working
Hello everyone I'm trying to install the latest Server image on an old Raspberry Pi 1 Model B.
Following the instruction on https://www.repetier-server.com/download-images/ the installation went well but I'm actually unable to connect the WiFi. I tried to setting up the WiFi connection from the web interface: I can see all the APs and select the one I want to connect to, I can establish the connection for a short time but in less than 10 seconds it disconnects automatically.
I tried also to manually override the connection adding the wpa_supplicant_wlan0.config file with the right settings paying attention to use a correct code editor such Atom but the results are always the same.
Until now I was using the same Raspberry Pi and WiFi USB adapter for the Repetier Server version installed on Raspberry Pi OS and everything worked fine.
I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I also changed the power supply with one more powerful without any improvement.
If it can be helpful this is the iwconfig output when the WiFi is connected for a short time: and this the ifconfig output:
I don't understand much: it seems that the wlan0 interface doesn't have any associated IPv4 but in my router's device list it appears with the static IPv4 I just previously assigned.
Thank you.
Do you assign it the ip via dhcp? That is the assumed default normally. All you normally do on the route ris assign your wifis mac address 20:e2:16:00:52:ed the ip you want. Note that mac might be different to the one on Raspbian before - we use the hardware mac I think and no virtual one.
You should have a look at /var/log/syslog where linux logs the wifi attempts to connect. Maybe you see why it fails, e.g. wrong password.
wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf is in /boot folder? I ask because we copy that file to /etc/wpa_supplicant overwriting old one. Eventually you need to reboot to make linux see new version.
