While a DAP-1522's expected link-up time is 50+ seconds after a reset, 40 seconds is almost exactly right for communication to be reestablished after a cRIO reset.

I watched one D-Link DAP-1522 consistently work in less than 30 seconds after a complete power cycle of the robot. It was, to put it mildly, unexpectedly quick. This was not using wireless, but it's still faster than I generally see with a wired connection.
