Cannot find Pi Zero W on wireless network

GarageMan
Go to solution Solved by C2dan88,

To enable Wifi on the Pi Zero you need to create a file called wpa_supplicant.conf at the root of the SD card containing the details of your network name and password.

This guide goes through all the steps needed

I've been attempting to follow the guide on the raspberry pi ad blocker, and I've been using a raspberry pi zero w trying to get it to run raspbian buster lite headless, and the light goes on, and in the ssh file I included the ssid and the psk, which should be sufficient according to the guides I followed, I think I have a wpa 2 psk style wifi to the best of my understanding, but this is my first time doing something with a raspberry Pi. I couldn't find the raspberry pi on angry scanner or fing on my phone, any advice for how to set this up?  I attempted to set it up earlier with the full raspbian buster with desktop and programs but it got stuck at raspi-config-service so I formatted my SD and went back to lite. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time!
