+# Web Server Guide
+
+This guide explains how to connect your CrossPoint Reader to WiFi and use the built-in web server to upload EPUB files from your computer or phone.

+2. Select the **WiFi** option
+3. The device will automatically start scanning for available networks
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Connecting to WiFi

+### Connection Process
+
+The device will display "Connecting..." while establishing the connection. This typically takes 5-10 seconds.
+
+### Saving Credentials
+
+If this is a new network, you'll be prompted to save the password:

+**Problem:** WiFi connection is unstable
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Move closer to the WiFi router
