## Antenna on PiKVM V4
PiKVM V4 has a robust metal case that protects your device from physical damage and electromagnetic interference.
This also means that an external antenna must be used for Wi-Fi. We recommend the official Antenna Kit for Raspberry Pi.

on the Compute Module 4.
Next, to activate the antenna, add line `dtparam=ant2` to the `/boot/config.txt` file on PiKVM, and perform `reboot`.
