Wifi Router Replacement

[enrique]

What wifi routers are allowed this year as a replacement?

[Alan Anderson]

<R52> One D-Link DAP-1522 is the only permitted mechanism for communicating to and from the ROBOT during the MATCH.

Do you know if it would be legal to add an external connector to the D-Link DAP-1522 to attach an external antenna for purposes of obscure mounting in an area of the robot where signal may not propagate well?

That's one for Q&A, but before you ask, ask yourself if it's possible to get the DAP out of whatever "blind spot" it's in.

Well the GDC is the only one who can give you an answer.

That was not a particularly respectful way to respond to someone who was trying to help you out.

[EricH]

And the GDC gave an answer: Not legal. (http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=17261)

Quick question. Our router seems to be broken and would like to replace it. Do we have to order one from FRC directly or can we buy one from Canada Computers?

[its da PAT!!!]

It doesn't matter where you get it from. It just needs to be a D-Link DAP-1522.

You can't order directly from FIRST but any source that can provide you a DAP-1522 is fine. We ordered ours from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DAP-1522-Extreme-Dual-Band-Wireless-N/dp/B001769K3O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330031306&sr=8-1).
