I'm trying to connect my rpi zero in a headless mode into a WIFI network configured in a WPA mixed mode.

More specifically I can get the following info from the router.

Security-Mode: WPA2-Mixed
Encryption: TKIP + AES
Wireless network mode: Mixed
SSID: HANET
Passphrase: @123ABCwe@

So according with the different articles that I've found online, inside the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file I'm having the following:

zcountry=GR
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="HANET"
    #ssid="ComputerCenter"
    scan_ssid=1
    psk="@123ABCwe@"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP
    group=TKIP
    auth_alg=OPEN
    #key_mgmt=NONE
}

But it seems that RPI never get connected to the wifi because it's not listed inside the router nor found with a simple subnet scan.

Any ideas?

    zcountry? should that just be country ... anyway, all I have in my supplicant file after country ctrl_interface and update_config in the network setting ssid, psk and key_mgmt entries - perhaps try with just those and see if that works

Finally the problem was with the typo in zcountry parameter that Jaromanda X noticed. I turned the zcountry into country and now it's working.
