RobotStudio Online Manage lists all IRC5 controllers available on the local network. If you run on a tablet, you may want to make your controllers available through a wireless network (WLAN).

Things to consider when setting up your wireless factory network:

- **Use an industrial grade wireless router**  
Home use routers may work initially but will eventually fail due to the tough environment in the workshop. Use of professional routers will quickly pay-off.

- **Hide your network ID (SSID)**  
Hiding the SSID will prevent unauthorized users to try and connect to the WLAN.

- **Use the most advanced encryption available on the router.**  
Choose the most advanced encryption method supported by both your PCs / tablets and the router.

- **Use a strong password**  
To make it harder for unathorized users to connect to the WLAN.

- **Configure the User Authorization System on your IRC5 controllers.**  
Remove all rights for the ‘Default User’ on the controller, and define a hierarchy of user levels for various tasks. Ensure that users with access to the controllers have the proper training in robotics and safety.
