### Changing the WiFi Channel ### Changing the WiFi Channel
hello The Control Hub acts as a wireless access point for the Driver Station and for the programming laptop or Chromebook. By default the Control Hub automatically picks an operating WiFi channel. However, it is sometimes necessary to specify the operating channel for the Hub.
For example, at a large competition an FTA might ask that you switch to a designated channel to avoid wireless interference that is present in the venue. Similarly, an FTA might ask you to switch to a specific channel because the FTA is monitoring that designated channel for interference or other wireless disruptions.
You can select the operating channel for the Control Hub from the _Manage_ page.

| 1. On the _Manage_ page of the Control Hub user interface, use the drop down selector to select the desired operating channel. Note that the Control Hub supports both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.<br/><br/><p align="center">[[/images/Managing-a-Control-Hub/selectChannel.jpg]]|
| 2. Press the _Change Channel_ button to change to the new channel. Note that when the channel change occurs, the Driver Station might momentarily disconnect from the Control Hub. It should eventually, however, reconnect to Control Hub's wireless network.|
| 3. Verify on the Driver Station that the Control Hub is operating on the desired WiFi channel. The operating channel should be displayed under the network name in the "Network:" section of the main Driver Station screen.<br/><br/><p align="center">[[/images/Managing-a-Control-Hub/dsOperatingChannel.jpg]]|
