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.

We had a problem at VCU where we would lose comms during the match, and the cycle time was about 40 seconds so we blamed the cRIO rebooting but couldn't figure it out. No problems showed up when tethered in the pits, and couldn't get a slot on the practice field. It turned out to be that the radio was not connected to the regulated supply on the PD board and was cycling when voltage dropped. This was noticed by our FTA who was able to watch the robot from a close vantage point and saw the radio reboot.
We had a handful of problems plauge us throughout Friday, but they were all traced to robot issues and not FMS. (bad jag, bad motor, improper wiring)
