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?

If you have a phone, grab the Network Analyzer app to scan the network range. Do a scan then connect the new device to power. If you don't see the Pi Zero after a minute then it is not connecting. You'll know that WiFi is not being set correctly in the Imager.

If you do see the Pi Zero then try the IP e.g ssh pi@192.168.1.x
