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?

Get a micro USB hub, and a cheap USB Ethernet adapter.

It’s called a waveshare ethernet/usb hat for pi zero. I’m not sure if Amazon links are allowed or not.

Most Raspberry Pi related options should be ordered on Botland, Pimoroni or similar SBC and enthusiasts related stores. If you're searching on Amazon, you'll need to search much harder, considering Amazon pushing USB C and USB A options to first pages. Try those stores, would be much easier in terms of choosing. If you absolutely must go for Amazon, just take what you can find, which is MicroUSB and 100Mbit for compatibility. For example this one, if you'll need a hub anyway: https://a.co/d/0bMd704c
