To connect your DAKboard Wall Display or CPU to a new wifi network, follow the steps below.

In your DAKboard account, go to Displays & Devices, click the more actions button (3 dots), click Settings then View Device Settings. There will be no DAKboard-X wifi network described below, in this situation.
