4. Update the Wi-Fi drivers for the computer.
5. If you operate multiple robots in close proximity in access point mode, setting up a router and operating the radios in bridge mode will reduce the number of wireless access points and may improve communications
1. Try relocating the robot radio to a better location (high in the robot and away from motors or large amounts of metal). Follow the `manufacturer's recommended mounting <https://frc-radio.vivid-hosting.net/getting-started/usage/mounting-your-radio>`__
2. :doc:`Measure your robot's bandwidth </docs/networking/networking-introduction/measuring-bandwidth-usage>` and ensure you have margin to the 7 Mbps bandwidth limit

3. See if the Wi-Fi environment is congested using a tool like [WiFi Analyzer](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NBLGGH33N0N?hl=en-US&gl=US).
4. Utilize the recommended :doc:`2 radio setup </docs/zero-to-robot/step-3/radio-programming>`.
1. Ensure the DS Radio is mounted high away from interference and humans walking between the DS radio and the robot.

For the best experience and to closely simulate field conditions, it is strongly recommended that your team uses two VH-109 radios during testing and preparation. This dual-radio setup mirrors the competition environment, ensuring your robot operates under realistic network conditions. Additionally, having two radios allows you to fully leverage the high-speed, low-latency communication provided by the 6GHz band, which is crucial for optimal robot performance in high-stakes scenarios.

When mounting the access point radio, ensure it is mounted high where it has a clear line of sight to the robot.

Could we have this also link to the VH mounting guide?
