WiFi/Bridge/CRIO Boot Conflict

Sooooo. ever had one of those moments at competitions where you turn your robot on and it doesn't connect to the field control system?
I know why.
This year's new D-Link Bridge boots up slower than the CRIO. The CRIO boots completely and then the Ethernet port is already configured. When the bridge then tries to connect to the CRIO and the wifi. It Can't. So I left the main robot power on and unplugged the power from the CRIO while the Bridge was still on. And the Bridge connected to the CRIO and WI-FI almost immediately.
This is a real problem. Has anyone else experienced it and is there a way to fix it without just having a hard switch wired to the CRIO to make sure the bridge boots first.
THANKS!
John Fogarty
