Re: D-link dropping out

We have also been getting D-Link drop outs. During our competition at Traverse City and at Western Michigan District we had several communications drop outs. Our robot was not driving hard and no major current draws on the battery. The Field controls personal said our radio reset. I am questioning this answer because I see the radio takes about 1 minute to power-up and starts its wireless communications. We loss communications for about 40 seconds. After 40 seconds we are off and running again. My thoughts are we having a wireless network access point/network problem on the field control access point. We saw several other teams with the same problem at these two events.
