- Download the ACER RNDIS driver
- Add the drivers to the boot
- Set a static IP address and set this in your host operating system's network manager
- When sharing network, add some stuff to the `/etc/network/interfaces` file and most importantly **NEVER USE WSL** to connect to the pi since wsl has issues with internet connection sharing (ICS) on windows.

### ⚠ IMPORTANT NOTE ON WSL1/2 and `Destination Host Unreachable` error:
DO NOT USE WSL to connect to the device, internet connection sharing (ICS) seems to break WSL networking resulting in any attempts to ping devices on the network failing (example errors for searchability)
DO NOT USE WSL to connect to the device in NAT mode, internet connection sharing (ICS) seems to break WSL networking resulting in any attempts to ping devices on the network failing (example errors for searchability)
This appears to be related to this [github issue](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8428)
Example of me trying to ping the device over wifi
EDIT 2024-07-28: It appears that the NAT networking mode specifically causes this issue, you may try bridged networking mode in windows 11 (I am using windows 10 so I cannot test this) or the undocumented virtioproxy mode in windows 10.
Add this to your `wsl.conf` or `.wslconfig` file and restart wsl:
```ini
[wsl2]
networkingMode=virtioproxy
```
Note that the `virtioproxy` mode does appear to slow networking down, for example when I run a GUI X program such as `cool-retro-term` over the network to xming on the windows host side, the performance is heavily degraded when using `virtioproxy`.
