My personal preference is to connect via Ethernet cable as this does not require any further configuration other than plugging it in.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cable-connection\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Cable Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Simply connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your network router and the other end to the Raspberry Pi. If your network router is not in the same room as your Raspberry Pi you can purchase a device called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=power-line\">Power-Line<\/a> that uses your existing house wiring to send and receive network traffic. You plug one Power-Line adapter into the wall socket next to the router and connect an Ethernet cable. The other Power-Line adaptor plugs into a wall socket next to the Raspberry Pi and again you\u2019ll need to connect another Ethernet cable. To check you have an internet connection; at the Home screen navigate to <strong>\u201cSYSTEM\u201d<\/strong> menu and select the <strong>\u201cSystem info\u201d<\/strong> sub menu:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-831\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bulis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/image30.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the Summary Information screen navigate down to the <strong>\u201cNetwork\u201d<\/strong> tab:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-832\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bulis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/image31.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the Network tab you should see the following information; Link Connected, IP Address, Gateway and Internet Connected:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-833\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bulis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/image32.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wifi-connection\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Wi-Fi Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Raspberry Pi 3 (released March 2016) comes with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in. To use Wi-Fi on previous versions of the Raspberry Pi you first need to purchase a USB Wi-Fi adaptor these usually cost around \u00a36.00 and plug it into the one of the spare USB ports.<\/p>\n<p>To connect to the Wi-Fi you first need to know the name of your wireless network and the password required to connect to it.
