Make sure the OpenH264 Plugin both exists and is enabled (known issue on Debian GNU/Linux). Press `Ctrl+Shift+A` to open the Add-ons Manager, then press `Plugins`. You should see *OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.*. Make sure it is enabled by pressing the "more options" button (3 horizontal dots), then pressing `Always Activate`.

* If your device is unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network that you have set up, check the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel used by your Wi-Fi access point.
If channels 12 to 14 are used (some countries have banned these channels) try to use a channel between 1 and 11.
??? question "How do I connect to multiple Wifi networks?"
There are 2 ways to do this
Recommended:
You can stack wifi networks in `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf`
Example:
```yaml
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SSID1"
psk=abcdef0123456789
}
network={
ssid="SSID2"
psk=abcdef0123456789
}
network={
ssid="SSID3"
psk=abcdef0123456789
}
```
Create your PSK using this command: `wpa_passphrase 'MyNetwork' 'P@assw0rd' >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf`
The second way is to use NetworkManager which is an alternitive but not recommended
```yaml
# rw
# su -
# pacman -S networkmanager
# nmcli device wifi list
# nmcli device wifi connect SSID1 password PASSWORD # Is needed to make the initial wifi connection
# nmcli device wifi connect SSID2 password PASSWORD # Is needed to make the seconadry wifi connection
# nmcli connection up SSID1/SSID2 # You can switch from 1 wifi network to another
# nmcli connection show # This shows a list of the correct connections / green shows connected state, white shows disconnected state
# nmcli connection modify SSID1 connection.autoconnect-priority 1 # This will make the first SSID the main one if you are in range of both
# nmcli connection modify SSID2 connection.autoconnect-priority 2 # If this is disconnected, it will switch to the first and visa versa
```
Here are some additional commands and caveats
```yaml
nmcli device wifi list
```
??? note "if you type nmcli and get the following error"
"nmcli (1.44.0) and NetworkManager (Unknown) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. Error: NetworkManager is not running."
```yaml
# systemctl list-unit-files --all #look for networkmanager, if its disabled, enable it and start the service
# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
# systemctl start NetworkManager.service
````
??? question "LEDs/Switches do not work in ATX control"
Double check your wiring as per [the documentation](/README.md#setting-up-the-v2). Make sure you placed the relays (G3VM-61A1) in the correct orientation. The relays for switches (Power, Reset) have a different orientation than the ones for LEDs.
