Connecting the Raspberry Pi 3B+ to a laptop via Wi-Fi

To connect the Raspberry Pi 3B+ wirelessly to a laptop via Wi-Fi, we first need to connect the RPi to a Wi-Fi network with a piece of software called PuTTY. After that, we can find out the IP address of the Raspberry Pi and enter that into a piece of software called VNC Viewer to connect the Raspberry Pi to a laptop. In order to perform this task successfully, the Raspberry Pi and laptop must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

The hardware required includes the following:

An Ethernet cable: The Ethernet cable will be attached directly to the Ethernet port of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and the Ethernet port of the laptop. If your laptop does not contain an Ethernet port, you will need to purchase a USB-to-Ethernet connector for your laptop.
Micro USB B wire: This is a standard Micro USB B wire for connecting the Raspberry Pi...
