Prolly easier to get an HDMI and USB adapter and pop a monitor and keyboard on it. I spent hours yesterday googling for PI ZERO 2 W WIFI DISCONNECTS and everybody has the same problem. Must be 1000 posts out there. It seems that the 2W is basically a piece of shit. People try SD cards that work perfectly in the Zero W, but don't work in the 2W. I tried every methodology suggested, and its still doing it. I am tempted to buy the old version, two of which have been faultlessly connected to the same wifi point for several years.... Unfortunately I soldered a header block to this one so I can't return it. Bin job probably. -- There is something fascinating about science.
