**Important:** Take note that it's possible to overwrite your manual changes to `dhcpcd.conf` with RaspAP's [default configuration](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/tree/master/config), depending on which functions you use in the UI.
Also, be aware that external WiFi adapters (ie, USB "dongles") vary greatly in terms of hardware capabilities and driver support. Many do not work out of the box on the RPi, require a powered USB hub, manual driver and/or firmware installation or are otherwise [not well suited for the RPi](https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters). Please [read this](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Reporting-issues) before reporting a bug.

### <a name="monitor"></a>Can I use RaspAP as a monitor only, without changing my configuration?
Yes, RaspAP has support for a so-called "monitor mode". In `config.php` change the setting `RASPI_MONITOR_ENABLED` to `true`. This disables the ability to modify settings, start/stop daemons, shutdown or reboot the RPi. RaspAP will continue to report interface statistics, service settings and data usage as normal.
