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.
part of getting connection at startup is the c-rio getting started up. It takes less time for a router to just reset since the c-rio isn't starting up again.
