Can we add photos for these? Also the image for the usb dongle would be nice too. It's cause these are things that are easily moved and can be lost. If we need to find them, a picture should help
| 1. Connect the **motion capture modem/router** to the ethernet wall ports. | ||
| 2. Connect the **MSI laptop** to this modem via ethernet. | ||
| 3. At the **main lab modem**, disconnect the **black ethernet cable** leading from the wall port, and connect the **cream coloured cable** to the wall port. | ||
| 4. Next, unplug the **green cable** that connects the modem to the network hub, and connect the other end of the **cream coloured cable** in it's place. |

We are cooked if the cable colours ever change. I think it is better to associate the cables with the devices they connect instead of just the colour

I also was going to say that the terminology 'modem' and 'network hub' are not really correct. Instead, as @JohanneMontano said, this section should be more explicit than relying on physical descriptions of cables, etc. For example, "connect the outside network to the WAN port of epsilon-x router; disconnect the switch from the epsilon-x router's LAN port; connect the robocup-x router's LAN ports to a generic wall outlet", etc. rather than "disconnect green cable from router." (Which router? Which port? LAN or WAN?)

Looks good, getting someone to go through this (and update the PR) could be a good new recruit task.

Maybe make this more generic but say that as of writing, the MSI laptop is set up with Motive in the lab.
eg
'Computer with Windows 10, Motive 2.3.1, [any port requirements, eg ethernet] - MSI laptop in the NUbots lab has these requirements'

these are just to make it more generic, since I dont trust that MSI laptop to last forever.

| Doing this temporarily removes ethernet access from the main lab network. Double-check that no one else is relying on the main network via ethernet before switching. | ||

This might be good to put higher in the guide 😆

| 1. Open the **MSI laptop** and boot into **Windows 10**. | |
| 1. Turn on the **mocap computer** and boot into **Windows 10**. |
| 3. Change the network IP address to ensure that the three systems are on the same subnet. | ||
| 4. Change the network to `robocup-x` and configure the network. |

This might need to be more specific. Something like
Change SSID to robocup-x
Input robocup-x password in the password field
Press c to configure and n to apply to network changes (if I'm remembering the process correctly off the top of my head)
