Getting Connected
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).
