Vestaboard requires a WiFi or Ethernet network connected to the Internet in order to receive and display messages from the Vestaboard mobile app, cloud app or API. First-time setup is performed using the Vestaboard app. Setup consists of a few simple steps where you will create and/or link a Vestaboard account created on the mobile app to your Vestaboard and connect it to your WiFi or ethernet network. Once your Vestaboard is connected, you will not need to re-connect it to WiFi unless you make changes to your router or internet connection.
