Hi folks!

We (team 2930) are having problems getting our router and bridge to talk to each other wirelessly. Does anyone have any ideas? Here is my cheif delphi post for what it's worth...

Our wireless benchtop test has never passed. On previous Cheif Delphi advice, I went ahead and re-imaged the cRIO and DS with the latest loads (steps 5.1, 5.2, 5.3). All that went relativly smoothly. I also went through the wireless adapter configuration in step 5.6. But when I get to step 11 of 5.6.2 where you disconnect the DS router (WRT610N) from the Robot bridge (WGA600N), I get nothing. I’ve read in other posts were the laptop may have automatically turned on encryption which needs to be disabled. I've reconnected the two and ensured the security items are all off or disabled. I also noted that in step 8 c of 5.6.2, the words say set the DHCP field to start at 10, put the associated picture shows 1. Not sure which is correct but neither helped my situation. Also, I can ping the two devices when they are wired together, but when I disconnect the robot bridge, the pings to it go un-answered. Could our bridge be bad? Any ideas?

I am glad everything worked out for you. As a reminder, you need to connect the analog bumper on the cRio to receive battery readings before the robot will be operational wirelessly.

Best of luck,
