## Check if your wallet is in advanced mode
|
|
|
To use a custom remote node, your wallet must be in advanced mode. Simple mode and Simple mode (bootstrap) don't support this feature.
|
|
|
To check if your wallet is in advanced mode, go to `Settings` > `Info` and see `Wallet mode`.
|
|
|
If your wallet is not in Advanced mode, you will have to change it to Advanced mode (see next step).
|
|
|
If your wallet is already in Advanced mode, you can skip the next step.

## Change your wallet to advanced mode
|
|
|
If your wallet is open, you need to close it first. Go to `Settings` > `Wallet` > `Close this wallet`

The main menu (`Welcome to Monero` screen) will open. At the bottom left, click on `Change wallet mode` button, and on the next page select `Advanced mode`. Next, open your wallet file again.

When opening your wallet, a pop up will appear with the option `Use custom settings`. Click on it, and you will be sent to `Settings` > `Node` page.
|
|
|
If you don't see this pop up, go to `Settings` > `Node` page.
|
|
|

|
|
|
On this page select `Remote Node`.
|
|
|
In `Address` you should fill the address of the remote node that you want to connect to. This address might look like `node.moneroworld.com` or it could look like any IP address.
|
|
|
In `Port` you should fill the port of the remote node. If a remote node is listed as `node.moneroworld.com:18089`, the address is `node.moneroworld.com` and the port is `18089`. The default port is `18081`, but it can vary depending on the node you are connecting to.
|
|
|
If your remote node requires authentication, you can enter a username in `Daemon username` and a password in `Daemon password`.
|
|
|
Finally, click on `Connect` button and wait for your wallet to connect.
