you need to edit the file /etc/network/inerfaces
for exemple like this:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf managed
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-sccan-ssid 1
wpa-ssid FOO
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk keyofFOO
and once this is done as root :
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
or
systemctl restart networking
hth.
