# Network Setup

A PANOPTES unit uses a mini router to provide a consistent experience for all users.  This router allows for a wired connection to the control computer as well as a wireless network that can be used for other devices.

Using the router means that you can create a mini network that will stay the same for both the build as well as the final installation.
