EDU - wi fi dongle light?

Hi
We are trying to use both GoPiGo and Brickpi in the classroom. We notice that the wifi dongle on the brickpi will light up (a low green light);but it does not appear on the GoPiGo. Should it? We are having trouble connecting to our dex local via CINCH.
thanks
Eleanor

Could you clarified/screenshot what is happening? I take it as raspbian for robots isn’t recognizing the dongle?
