How to ssh via USB Ethernet adapter For a few days now, I have been connecting to my board which is hooked up to my router through a clutter of wires, over Wi-Fi. To spare my family from the risk of tripping, or hogging the extension cords all to myself, I'm looking for a way to establish an ssh connection directly from my computer (either via a USB Ethernet or a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter).
My question is what address will I be looking for? Is it something like arduinoname.local?
ssh root@[arduinoname].local

does the trick. Just replace [arduinoname] with your board's name: ssh root@myboard.local
Seems to take a minute or two to initialize, so if it doesn't work immediately don't give up right away!
This however won't allow you to access your internet, so I'll still have to connect to my router if I'm going to be downloading anything.
