# Post-Configuration and Automatic Network Check

After completing the configuration process, the device will automatically reboot. Upon startup, the Mago Essential software will **launch automatically**.

If the device **does not detect a network connection**, it will display a QR code on screen. Scanning this QR code with a phone or laptop will allow you to quickly set up a Wi-Fi connection to restore network access.

### Select a WiFi network

On your phone or laptop, wait for the list of available Wi-Fi networks to appear. Select your desired Wi-Fi network and enter the password, if required. Then tap or click “Connect”. Mago Essential will attempt to connect to the selected network. Once connected successfully, the Wi-Fi setup prompt will disappear, and Mago Essential will resume normal operation.
