[title] Enable Network Module
[* black] For ***Duet 2 WiFi***:
- [* icon_note] The WiFi module has a blue LED on it, just next to the Micro SD card holder. This should flash once when power is connected to the board, but will only be lit permanently if it is connected to a WiFi network. Duets with an external antenna use a different WiFi module, with no indicator LED.
