No, it's looking for a wireless access point with your team number as the name (SSID) and with a specific WPA key as the password. Since you have no way of knowing what that password is right now, you will have to reprogram it for "home use" as an access point.

What's to be afraid of? Just plug it in to a computer with the FRC Radio Configuration Utility installed and run it, using the Programming your radio for home use instructions.

Remember to run the radio tool as an administrator. Otherwise it may be unable to set your computer network adapter's IP address and the reprogram will fail with a very unhelpful error message.

Works now - thanks everyone for the quick responses
