- A computer connected to the network, with an available USB port, and a micro USB cable (supplied with the Duet).
- A computer, tablet or smartphone with WiFi client capability (this could be the same as the previous item, or a different device).
- Chrome and Firefox definitely work well with DuetWebControl, Edge, IE and Safari may have problems.
- A 3D printer with accessible cabling, for the Duet WiFi to control.

- A network which includes an Ethernet switch or hub with a free port. Alternatively a network cable can be used directly between a computer and the Duet Ethernet.

- A computer connected to the network, with an available USB port, a micro USB cable (supplied with the Duet).
- This computer could be connected to the network via Wifi or Ethernet. After the initial setup over USB then any device connected to the network that runs a compatible web browser can be used (e.g a smartphone or tablet) to control the Duet.
