Re: DLink 1522
At competitions the Driver Station is connected by Ethernet cable directly to the Field Router.
The Field Router connects wirelessly to the bridge on the robot.
A bridge and a laptop wireless card are sort of like clients that need a router somewhere to connect to.
When the D-Link switch is set to AP, it acts like a router and the Classmate can connect to it, but when the D-Link switch is set to Bridge, it acts only as a bridge, not a router, and only another router can connect to it.
There is an exception for some bridges that support ad hoc networks, but that doesn't apply to our equipment.
