Hey everyone,
I’m a complete beginner trying to set up my rasp pi zero w. It’s running raspbian lite (stretch).
First I was trying to connect to a 5Ghz network. Realised that was silly so tried a 2.4Gz instead!
I added a file to the boot partition called wpa_supplicant.conf containing the following:
network={
ssid=“name of network” (this contained no spaces or special characters)
psk=“mypassword” (this has a ; in it)
}
I’ve been scouring the forums for answers. As a result I tried it with and without double quotes. And with and without a \ before the ;
I don’t have a usb keyboard/mouse handy - perhaps that’s just being lazy, but I’ve kind of taken it on as a challenge now! But I do have a TV hooked up. And I’ve been scanning using zenmap from my mac to see if I can find the raspberry Pi IP address. No joy so far.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong with the wpa_supplicant.conf file?
Just in case I’m doing the scan wrong - will I see anything on the last part of the boot up dialogue that would tell me if the pi has found wifi?
Any help much appreciated :)
