Wiki-based Getting Started Guide (based on Joyride 2037)

There are multiple ways to connect to the Internet:

wireless access point (WiFi hotspot);
“School Server” mesh network;
“simple” mesh network, which lets you collaborate directly with other XOs;
wired network (may require an external adapter—e.g., see USB Ethernet adaptors).

You make your connection from the Neighborhood view. Your current connection status is shown on the Frame.
