It's looks like this following problem.
This is a solution from this tutorial, but I do not know how to add boot option on U-Boot.

Re: How to add new boot option on uboot?
sorry, not sure we understand, does it boot if you unplug the wifi adapter?

Re: How to add new boot option on uboot?
I use putty, when reboot beaglebone, putty said "connection abort".
And then
First, I restarted putty and log in to beagle-bone again,
edited " /var/lib/connman/settings" wifi = true,
then edited " /var/lib/connman/wifi.config" likes following,
[service_home]
Type = wifi
Name = WIFI_NAME_HERE
Security = wpa2
Passphrase = WIFI_PASS_HERE
and then "root@beaglebone:~# systemctl restart connman.service"
after more than 40 seconds, input "ifconfig wlan0", it's still a lot of 0's and no inet addr(means wifi adapter dose not connect)
Please help me.

check the name, password and password type - also get close to the router. try iwlist to list all networks available

Re: How to add new boot option on uboot?
This is my wifi.config setting
[service_home]
Type = wifi
Name = "NETGEAR03"
Security = wpa2-psk
Passphrase = "slowcheese156"
I checked them couple times, all of the information are correct, but still can not use wifi adapter

Re: How to add new boot option on uboot?
This is wifi adapter's information(wlan0)
It seems not support WPA2-PSK
But my router does not have WPA2 mode,
Is that meaning I need change an old router or return wifi adapter?

Re: How to add new boot option on uboot?
well, we've never had anyone with this problem. you can return the wifi module for a refund by emailing support@adafruit if you dont think it works but we suggest trying a different non-adafruit wifi module as all the ones in the shop use the same chipset - you may want to try a different one from a different store.

I tried every Security type including wpa wpa2 wpa2-psk. Password and username are all correct.
"we've never had anyone with this problem"???

we can't reproduce this problem. you can return the wifi module for a refund by emailing support@adafruit if you dont think it works but we suggest trying a different non-adafruit wifi module as all the ones in the shop use the same chipset - you may want to try a different one from a different store.
