I just got a new RaspberryPi 3B+ and have added an empty SSH file with no extension a wpa_supplicant.conf file that contains the following to my microSD card:
country=US update_config=1ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="MyNetworkName"
psk="MyPasswordName"
}
When I insert the SD card into the Pi and plug it into a power supply that outputs 2-3 Amps the red light remains steady after the green one stops flashing and when I try this command in the terminal:
ping raspberrypi.localping: cannot resolve raspberrypi.local: Unknown host
Is the response^
Yet when I try this command:
ping raspberrypi
PING raspberrypi (00.000.000.0): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Is the output with a continued series of "Request timeout..." messages and my actual IP address. Does anyone know why the Pi is not responding to the first command with the '.local' suffix or does it even matter?
Also, I removed the SD card after trying this and checked that the wpa_supplicant.conf file is still there and that the wifi details and punctuation, country code are correct.The SSH file is also still there and I am aware it should be removed when the Pi boots so I don't think it is actually booting.
Thanks for any advice, I am beginner so sorry if this is a dumb question. Thank you.

file to the SD Card? I guess you use a card reader on another computer. What operating system is running on that computer?
