Does the 2016 FMS radio programmer have an option to program a D-Link?

Just wondering since we are planning to bring a pre-rookie to an off-season event and we don't have a 2016 router for them. (and they can't buy their own since the new FCC restrictions passed)

There is an option in the 2016 radio configuration tool to configure the DAP1522 Rev A and B as well as the OpenMesh.

Yes.

Yes.

Right, but that's for home use. I'm looking for use on the FMS. I know the router config has it in FMS Lite mode, but does it have the option on the full-fledged, official FMS?

Sorry, I misread your post. Looking at the team version of the software it seems that there isn't a way to program it for the FMS with it. I don't think FMS Lite mode will work due to the difference in how the networks are set up.

Also, I'd need the field SSID and password. I have a feeling the FTAs wouldn't just give it to me for various reasons (http://archive.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2012_Assets/Einstein%20Investigation%20Report.pdf).

It won't work with the official WPA kiosk, but an FTA can set the D-Link up to connect to the field. I would reach out to the event's organizer, make sure their FTA knows ahead of time, and get the radio to the FTA as soon as you get to the event.
