You shouldn't be disconnecting and reconnecting things like that. You can have many things on the network simultaneously. Just plug the programming computer into the robot's D-Link router along with the cRIO. You can even connect the computer wirelessly, so you can do reprogramming without having to have the robot physically tethered to anything.

3. Open the program cRIO Imaging Tool, and apply "controller settings" (or something like that) once it's detected the cRIO
|
There is usually no need to use the Imaging Tool unless you want to change which language you're using, or to load or remove a CAN plugin, or if there's an updated image released.

5. Click on "Build"
6. Once complete right click on "Build Specifications" again and this time click "Deploy"

If you want the code to run on the cRIO each time it's turned on, it's generally a good idea to click "Run as startup" instead of "Deploy".
