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. +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.
