Is this so you can remotely drive the robot all over the school without leaving your room?

Yea pretty much, cause this year my school resetup its internet system so that all of the routers (we got like 15 or so in the school) are under 1 common SSID so that throughout the campus, you only need to connect once (unlike previous yrs where we had E-Hall, E-Hall 2, B-Hall, and etc).
So while I can connect directly to the DAP I would like to use the schools routers and a tie.
I have been testing the setup and if I changed the IP of the cRIO (using MAX) to say 192.168.2.2, my Laptop to 192.168.2.6, and the DS team # to 16802 (balances the numbers to 168.2) I am unable to detect the cRIO through wired connection. I believe this is because the actual DS still attempts to find a cRIO with the IP of 10.168.2.2...
If I remember correctly their was a way to edit/make your own DS or Dashboard, and it would probably be possible to change the default search address their (but I don't remember anything about it).
I still have not attempted Static IPs but it seems impossable for my home routers because with the default address, I can only assign static IPs of 192.168.2.zz...
Now in the presentation it has a Laptop able to access the web and another access the Robot but that sends it through the WRT router then the typical Internet router...
Looks like this is goin to be one tough cookie...
