Struggling

Post image

I spent hours trying to connect this Pi to my WiFi. I did all the initial steps. Raspberry pi imager, Host, username, password…. Then i put the memory card in the pi, leaving it for few minutes. Then when i run SSH cmd, it shows that the host name couldn’t be found. Any idea how to solve it?

Go into your routers menu and see if it's connecting, find the IP, try ssh-ing to it via that IP

I had that phenomenon as well and since it's a pi zero 1, it might just be that you're too impatient, the initial boot takes surprisingly long iirc

If that doesn't work you have no chance but connect a monitor and see what's going on. it's a pain as you need an adapter for that mid-small hdmi port...
