My Pi is connected to our router via wired LAN. Do I still have to setup wi-fi even if I don't want to use it? I've re-flashed my SD card about a dozen times in the last week, trying to recover from problems. Isn't there a way of setting up wi-fi without reflashing my SD card, assuming I really need to use wi-fi?Starting a Pi with no keyboard, mouse or monitor attached is how you create a headless Pi. I do it all the time.
Create the microSD card with Raspberry Pi Imager, and in that set Wifi details, username etc. and enable SSH.
Boot Pi5 from that and wait 5 minutes.
From your PC (with keyboard/mouse/monitor) use PuTTY to SSH into the pi.
Then enable rpi-connect as per https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... nnect.html
Note you can also use VNC server on the Pi (headless) and VNC Viewer on the PC.
Same question regarding SSH. I want to use screen sharing with Pi Connect. I don't know what VNC is, sorry!
