### Using a WiFi Connection
Press the scan button to look for available WiFi networks. When the list returns, select your WiFi network or if you are stealing WiFi from one of your neighbors choose that one, enter the passphrase and hit save. If you are using a hidden SSID just stop it. It provided no security at any level and if I were a WiFi predator I would already have your hidden SSID. But if your SSID isn't listed you can type it in SSID field and provide the passphrase for it.

Once you have entered the information you can click the Save Adapter button. ESPSomfy RTS will not connect to your WiFi network until you have disconnected from the dedicated access point that you are currently connected to. So to allow ESPSomfy RTS to connect to your network disconnect your computer from the ESPSomfyRTS WiFi network.

#### Roaming
ESPSomfy RTS supports roaming between access points in a mesh network as of v2.4.1. Although the ESP32 MCU does not contain a dual wan configuration so it can switch between access points without disabling the radio, ESPSomfy RTS will scan for access points and reconnect to a stronger one should it see a better connection on the network. ESPSomfy RTS performs a passive scan and does not shut down the Wifi radio during the detection phase and will not change the connection unless the access point provides at least 10dbm better connectivity.
By default roaming is enabled and should provide you with the most reliable Wifi connection on your mesh network but if you have a router setup that does not include mesh technologies or multiple access points or you are using AP binding on your router, simply uncheck the `Enable Roaming` checkbox and save the adapter. This will stop ESPSomfy RTS from even looking for a different AP to connect to.
### Using Hardwired Ethernet
If you have one of the hardwired ethernet ESP32 devices select the Use Ethernet checkbox. This will change the screen to allow you to configure the Physical Hardware (PHY) for your Ethernet enabled ESP32 device. Use care to ensure you have properly configured the hardware as many of those boards have no protections on the connection between the ESP32 microcontroller and the Ethernet chip. You can damage the Ethernet chip with improper settings.
