Is there something in the wireless settings that could be wrong? The radio is off of a 2011 bot, no need to update any software on the D-link right?
One possibility is that your laptop itself is taking a while to find and connect to your robot. We have this issue every now and again. There's really nothing you can do to change it, so for the most part, it's "normal."
