We found a program that actually shows you which channels are being used and switched the router to one that was free, but we're still having problems. The Mac desktops in our room seem to connect just fine, as well as one of our member's nice laptops. However, our Macbook with Windows 7 Bootcamp on it still has the same really bad connection problem. We're still baffled at how some computers will connect but others won't, and we've been playing around with all kinds of settings on the router and the computers but nothing seems to have helped so far, not even the channel thing.
We're going to try using a USB wireless adapter to see if it's somehow the wireless cards in the laptops we're using that just aren't up to the job of connecting reliably to the robot.
I hope we can figure this out soon, although it isn't hindering our progress much besides eating up time trying to fix it since we can still connect by Ethernet, but if anyone has any other suggestions they would be much appreciated!
