# Connecting to the internet
The recomended and easiest way to connect any Offline Toolkit device to the Internet is through ethernet cable, directly from the router to the device.
Just don't plug into the router's WAN port, which is usually blue.
Your device can connect to a local WiFi hotspot in order to gain access to the internet, but this feature hasn't been well tested as of yet.
To test it out go to the admin panel, and to the **Networking** tab, usually located at:
The device will scan for nearby wifi hotspots. You can then select the one to connect to, enter the password and connect.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.earthdefenderstoolkit.com/device-usage/first-steps/connecting-to-the-internet.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
