Step 2 - After installing the adb command-line tool, connect your PC and Android device to the shared Wi-Fi network. Next, use a USB cord to connect your Android device to the System.

Make sure your Android device is still connected to your Linux system via USB cable.

Step 5 - Once you have set the target Android device to watch port 5555 for a TCP/IP connection, you can disconnect the USB cable and connect to the target device using its IP address. To do this, open a terminal and execute the following command:

adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555
