No one, neither veterans, nor rookies, needs more than the DLink.
The DLink in AP mode IS a router. It happens to also ride on the robot.
How simple is that?
In past years during the off-season, many teams replaced their robot radio with the router that came in previous year's Kits. A router that rides on the robot and can communicate on the Classmate's 2.4GHz band (or whatever your driver station laptop wireless band is) is all you need.

The gateway address isn't used until we get to the playing field where the Field Router is at that address (and the DLink's are switched over to act as bridges, not routers).
