- V3 HAT *or* pre-assembled users: Please follow this [first](https://docs.pikvm.org/v3/)<br>
- For both to work and display a video, your target system needs to be configured for the following:<br>

2. Adding FIRSTBOOT=1 or FIRSTBOOT-1 will erase the msd partition, if used afterwords as a means of switching wifi networks, do not include this option. Instead, use different supplicant files for each wifi SSID, mv files to the supplicant dir as needed and reboot.

If you want to connect PiKVM to a Wi-Fi network, you need to tell the device ESSID and password before first boot.

## Video modes
PiKVM V3 supports maximum resolution 1920x1080@50Hz, 60Hz will not work. You can use any other resolution less than the specified one, for example: 1600x1200@60Hz, 1280x720@60Hz, etc. If you have problems with the video, follow [this guide](edid.md).

# Setting up Wi-Fi
!!! tip
There is nothing more reliable than wired Ethernet, so it's better to use it. Wi-Fi with the steel case (on V3) results in poor performance. But who are we to stop you... :)
The following describes how to setup a Wi-Fi connection on the default pikvm builds based on Arch Linux.
The process might vary for other Linux distros. We recommend to do this while having a display and keyboard
connected directly to the Raspberry Pi as you will loose network connectivity once you connect to a Wi-Fi.
Alternatively you can connect to the PiKVM via SSH. The built-in Web Terminal (available through the browser) should also work.
!!! note "Setting up WifiI for the first time (Easy wifi access)"
Please review [First Steps](first_steps.md) wifi section if you are setting up the following: (Mandatory) Zero(2)W or going from ethernet to wifi on any other PiKVM model (Optional).

!!! note "Setting up Wi-Fi in the boot config (semi-auto)"
Check out *Optional setting up Wi-Fi* in the [First Steps](first_steps.md) guide. This is mandatory if you're using Zero 2 W board.
It will work in most other cases, especially if you have physical access to the memory card.

??? note "Moving Wi-Fi settings for OS older than 2021.10.19"
Starting from 2021.10.19, the old way to configure Wi-Fi using `netctl` is deprecated.
Instead, it is proposed to use a more native path with `systemd-networkd`, which is already used to configure Ethernet.
Follow the guide and then delete the old netctl profile:
