The problem with licensed bands is that they are, well, licensed. This adds additional cost and administrative paper work for FIRST. Not to mention the possible inability for teams to use it at their local build site for wireless comms with the robot and the higher cost for radios.

If you want to start pointing fingers, start with the D-Link AP. It is consumer grade hardware not designed for the FIRST application. If the D-Link can be absolved of blame then you start moving to other options.
