Hello,

I want to run Balena OS and Balena Dash with RPiZero no wifi. I see in the code have wifi-connect, how to modify it to use LAN via USB only?

You can find on how to setup your piZero as a Ethernet gadget here [https://learn.adafruit.com/turning-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-usb-gadget/ethernet-gadget](https://learn.adafruit.com/turning-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-usb-gadget/ethernet-gadget)  
I’ve not heard of people doing this with balenaOS, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in theory. I’d give it a go myself, however I don’t have the hardware with me.  
Maybe @chrisys has tried this before?

@thanh_tan this should be as simple as adding the USB LAN adapter - wifi-connect doesn’t do anything if there is an active connection. If you do want to remove it you can remove that block from the `docker-compose.yml` file and delete the `wifi-connect` folder, the rest of the project will work find without it. I hope this helps!
