A:Answer Hi there, and thanks for your interest in this dishwasher! While this model has the option to use WiFi if you utilize the U+ Connect Module (which is available under part number PBX23W00Y0 if you'd like to set it up), WiFi is not necessary to control the dishwasher. It does have a control panel with push buttons, which is located at the top of the door. If you need further information about using the control panel and buttons, your manual does have instructions on using the unit and is available online if you search our GE website with your model number. We hope this information is helpful, and are confident this dishwasher would be a great fit for you! If you have any other concerns or questions, we're always happy to help. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
