 ``` C++
-ESPAsyncHTTPUpdateServer _updateServer;
-AsyncWebServer _server(80);
+ESPAsyncHTTPUpdateServer updateServer;
+AsyncWebServer server(80);

 3. Setup the update server before starting the webServer
 ``` C++
-_updateServer.setup(&_server);
-_server.begin();
+updateServer.setup(&server);
+server.begin();
 ``` 
 #### Custom Route
 ``` C++
-_updateServer.setup(&_server, "/customroute");

 #### Credentials
 ``` C++
-_updateServer.setup(&_server, "username", "password");
+updateServer.setup(&server, "username", "password");
