instructions from https://davidmaitland.me/2015/12/raspberry-pi-zero-headless-setup/
If you’re not sure how to edit files on Linux, try sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces then Ctrl + x to save when done.
Find this block in the file:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Then change it to this:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.confNow let’s setup the WiFi connection and passkey. Edit the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Add this to the end:
network={
ssid="my network name"
psk="my network password"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}Check if it is connected to the internet from commandline.
traceroute 93.93.128.176
