# Choosing Wi-Fi Radio Configurations

The Wi-Fi radios in the Omnitrack Wi-Fi modules and the [Network Hub](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omniswitch-network-hub) with Radio should be properly configured for your application as we understood it when you ordered your Omnitrack. You should not need to use the information in this section unless your system configuration changes or you did not inform us of your intentions when you ordered the system. The "Configuration" column in the table below lists the radio configuration script (.rsc) file needed for that configuration. The scripts are found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1fNyF7ID1RcsmVvgu2GpdUKvIFknjR08f). (Omnitrack Wi-Fi Script Bundle.zip). Each .rsc file also includes a text file with the same name that includes the radio command to load the configuration, as described [here](/c/omniswitch-network-hub/changing-the-configuration-of-a-wi-fi-radio.md).

| **(Case 1)** You want easy setup and deployment with long Wi-Fi range, and least interference with any BlueBoats in same operating area. **This is the default for the Omnitrack Buoy + Wi-Fi purchase configuration.**                                      | Need to purchase the optional [Network Hub](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omniswitch-network-hub) with a radio.​Omnitrack/BlueROV network not integrated with BlueBoat network.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            | **Wi-Fi module's radio:** OmnitrackClient.rsc **IP Addr:** 192.168.2.12 **Network Hub's radio:** OmnitrackAccessPoint.rsc **IP Addr:** 192.168.2.13 **Wi-Fi Password:** OmnitrackAP |

Range is limited by laptop Wi-Fi antenna. ***Many PCs have buggy bridging software and you may never be able to get this to work on your specific PC, so you might need a different network bridging option.*** | **Wi-Fi module's radio:** OmnitrackAccessPoint.rsc **IP Addr:** 192.168.2.13 **Wi-Fi Password:** OmnitrackAP **Network Hub with Radio:** N/A — no Network Hub with Radio            |
