+### Connecting to your Pi via SSH instead of serial
+
+Once you have your Pi connected to the wireless network, and you use ifconfig to find the IP address it has been assigned, you can log into it through SSH instead of through a USB-serial cable. 
+- Have your Pi's IP address handy.
+- Make sure your Pi is plugged into power. Do not attach the serial console cable.
+- Open a new terminal window.
+- Type `ssh your_Pi_username@ip_address_of_your_Pi`
+- You should be prompted for your Pi's password, and then you should be logged in!  No serial cable necessary!
