DLink Wireless connection issues

We built two robots this year and, plan to use both at the Beantown Blitz. We bought a second DLink(dap522) the problem is that it doesn't seem to want to communicate with our Linksys wireless router (WRT610N) v4.

All the IP addresses are set properly and the configuration on both is correct, but I can't ping the cRio from the driver station laptop. I think it is because the cRio's subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

I can set the dlink [per the instructions] to match, but I am limited on the linksys (WRT610N) to a dropdown list: [255.255.255.0, 255.255.255.64, 255.255.255.128, I think there is one more but the first three sets are 255]

From what I have concluded the problem stems from the subnet masks not matching. I could be totally wrong too, and it could be something I am missing.

Any thoughts as to how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
