# Getting the Packet Squirrel Online

To get your Packet Squirrel online, plug it into an Internet connected network that supports DHCP. By default the Packet Squirrel will be looking for a network connection from its Ethernet Out port, otherwise known as its WAN port. This is the RJ45 jack on the right side of the device above the female USB type A port.
