# Configuring the Control Hub

Step 1 - Make sure the control hub has power

Step 2 - Connect to the wifi network produced by the control hub, If you have not configured the control hub before the wifi network would be called "FTC-" or "FIRST-" followed by four random characters and the password would be "password"

Step 5 - Name your robot after the correct naming scheme. By default, the Control Hub has a name that begins with "FTC-" or "FIRST-" followed by four random characters. We need to change that to meet these requirements:

* If the device will be a Robot Controller, specify your team number and "-RC".
* If the device will be a Driver Station, specify your team number and "-DS".
* If you have more than 1 set of Robot controllers and Driver Stations the add letters to specify which device it is e.g. "-C"

For example, our team's primary set of Robot controller and Driver Station would be "18038\_A\_RC" for robot controller and "18038\_A\_DS" for Driver Station

You could also set a new password to access your robot if needed just make sure your team members know
