# Managing Settings

{% hint style="info" %}
This tutorial is focused on changing the Wi-Fi settings for a classroom setting. Those participating in FTC, FGC, or another competition should check the latest game manual for rules on device names.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Version 10.2 and newer of the Driver Station App/Robot Controller App now shows a warning if the names used on the Control Hub and Driver Hub do not match the current FTC rules. This is a cosmetic warning that does not prevent normal operation.
{% endhint %}

## REV Hardware Client 2

### Control Hub

Navigate to the Control Hub in the REV Hardware Client 2. Click the device to open the Navigation menu.

Select **Open Console** under Program & Manage to open the Robot Control Console (RCC) for the Control Hub. This will open in a new window.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
If the RHC2 window is exited out, the Robot Control Console will also close.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

In the Robot Control Console, select Manage.&#x20;

### Naming the Control Hub&#x20;

Here you'll find all the options for updating the Wi-Fi settings. For now we will focus only on the name and password. It's recommended to give each Control Hub an easily recognizable name.&#x20;

This might be a group name, student names, a color, a number, or similar that fits your classroom needs for assigning robots. This is the name that will be displayed as the network to connect to later using the Driver Hub.&#x20;

The default password is **password**. Consider allowing student groups to pick their own password to secure their robot. If the password is forgotten, it can be changed here again later.

Click **Apply Wi-Fi Settings** once all changes have been made. The Wi-Fi Band settings can be left on the default (5Ghz and auto Wi-Fi Channel) for most classroom environments.&#x20;

### Backing Up the Control Hub

The files on the Control Hub can be backed up using the REV Hardware Client 2. Remember all programming files and configurations are stored directly on the Control Hub so it is good to regularly back it up!

From the Control Hub's Navigation menu, select Backup.
