is one of the wlanX interfaces.

If no wlan if showing try sudo ifconfig.

If there is still no interface check if the wireless dongle is plugged in.

To change the wireless settings use the following commands:

sudo ifconfig down

sudo dhclient -r

sudo ifconfig up

sudo iwconfig essid "ESSID_IN_QUOTES"

sudo iwconfig mode Managed

sudo dhclient

Ater this one should be able to connect to the youbot using ssh with ( youbot/youbot )

If you are not sure what the ip of the youbot is try avahi-discover. Note that you need the ipv4 address and not the ipv6 address. If you don see an ipv4 address try changing your own ip to either 192.168.0.X or to 10.42.0.X. If you still can find the youBot an option would be to check the dhcp pool in the router settings or attaching a monitor to the youbot.
