You'll need to do one-off configuration, for which you'll need to plug some bits into your core unit.

For this you'll need to know your wifi server password and what encryption

  • If you have a monitor which takes an HDMI connection, run a cable from the monitor to the core unit - there's a socket next to the USB power socket. If not, plug a standard VGA connector into an VGA-to-HDMI connector and plug that into the core unit. Then plug a USB keyboard into one of the USB sockets.
  • You should see a login prompt. Enter "wifi" and hit return
  • It will show a list of all the wifi servers, which should be your own and probably some of your neighbors
  • Hit shift-P to go into Preferences
  • "Wireless Interface" should have "wlan0" next to it. If it does not, add it then hit F10 to return to the list of wifi servers
  • Select your home wifi server in the list and press the right arrow button
  • Check the "automatically connect to this network" box
  • Move down to where it says "WPA 1/2" and hit return
  • A list of all the encryption modes will be listed.
