I currently have a temporary solution. Our team had the same problem and what we found is that we plug an ethernet cord into the linksys slot 1 in the rear and plug the other end into a laptop and wait a bit it finally works. we have no clue why but it works. also, one of our mentors (going for his masters in computer science) played around with it a bit and all of a sudden it works well now. We don't even have to plug it into an ethernet cord and laptop.
yay
