Hello, I am posting this topic today to find out on how to use monitors on a connected wired modem to a computer. I will need to display information and other things on it. Thank you

A little context as to your current knowledge wouldn't go astray here - are you familiar with using a monitor without a wired modem? What about other peripherals?

Yes I know how to use a monitor on a regular connection basis. But I believe my error is within trying to declare the( p=peripheral.wrap() ) but i dont know what needs to be in the parameters for wired modem monitors

Right-click the modem attached to the monitor. It will give you the name of the monitor.

Yes I know that I got the name monitor_2
I tried p =peripheral.wrap ("monitor_2") but it still doesnt work when I do p.write("test")

Hmm, that sounds like it should work…
But still, info info info! What DOES happen when you try that?
Are all the modems involved actually connected? Right-clicking them toggles the connection.
