The reason why I think this is the most common way is because OTG cables are commonly used for adding USB ports to Android tablets and smartphones. Using an OTG USB female to male micro USB cable is probably one of the most common methods for getting internet access to your Pi Zero. Using a USB On the Go (OTG) Cable with WiFi Dongle These dongles can be picked up for around $5.00 on Amazon, so don’t worry as it won’t make you poor. In all scenarios listed, you’ll need a USB WiFi dongle. I’m going to show you three quick, easy, and cheap ways to get WiFi internet on your Raspberry Pi Zero IoT device, none of which will require any soldering or advanced hardware knowledge. However, what happens when you decide you’re at a point where you’d like to bring your Pi Zero online? In a previous post I explained how to emulate ethernet over a USB as a way to connect to a Pi Zero that is not using WiFi or ethernet. I collect the full size units as well as the Pi Zero units. As you know from the guides that I put out, I’m a Raspberry Pi collector.
