Connecting the raspberry pi to a wifi network with a static IP

This is a simple thing, there is nothing special about the PI, first, connect it to a wireless dongle (USB is your only option anyways), then create a file with your network settings, because of the scenario this is written for, and it is written as a reference for someone, I will connect it to an android hotspot, the subnet here is specific to android, others should use your own according to their router.

1- create the following file at /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
ssid="isam"
psk="abcabc1234"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}

Now, modify the file /etc/network/interfaces

For Signal quality and other relevant information, use the following command

iwconfig
