# Compatibility with Blue Robotics BlueBoat Network

The Omnitrack Wi-Fi module by design is compatible with the Blue Robotics BlueBoat long-range Wi-Fi. We purchase our Wi-Fi radios from Blue Robotics in order to maintain the best possible level of compatibility.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Blue Robotics calls the Wi-Fi radios "routers" in their documentation.
{% endhint %}

There are two main cases for compatibility, and we cover both of them. 

* You want the OmniTrack, the BlueROV, and the BlueBoat all to be on the same IP subnet so a single PC can control the BlueBoat and the Blue ROV. In this case, you would be using the Cerulean Omnitrack BaseStation Plus, or the BlueRobotics BaseStation (with a network bridge of some sort). ([Case 4](/c/omnitrack/omnitrack-wi-fi-module-system/choosing-wi-fi-radio-configurations.md), [Case 5](/c/omnitrack/omnitrack-wi-fi-module-system/choosing-wi-fi-radio-configurations.md))
* You want the Omnitrack network to co-exist with a BlueBoat network, but you want the two networks to be independent and not interfere with one another ([Case 1, Case 3](/c/omnitrack/omnitrack-wi-fi-module-system/choosing-wi-fi-radio-configurations.md)).

There are two notable network differences between the Cerulean Omnitrack BaseStation Plus and the BlueRobotics BaseStation:

* The systems are assigned [different IP addresses](/c/omnitrack/standard-blue-robotics-ecosystem-internet-protocol-ip-addresses.md) (unless the Omnitrack BaseStation Plus is emulating the BlueBoat BaseStation).
* When either the Omnitrack Wi-Fi module or the BaseStation Plus is the access point for the Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi dynamic address assignment will assign an address in the 192.168.2.x subnet. This simplifies access to the default network by iOS devices like iPhones or iPads. You should still assign [static addresses to your device if it has a standard role](/c/omnitrack/standard-blue-robotics-ecosystem-internet-protocol-ip-addresses.md) in the network (i.e., you should still give the laptop running QGroundControl a static address of 192.168.2.1).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack/omnitrack-wi-fi-module-system/compatibility-with-blue-robotics-blueboat-network.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
