Re: I need help setting up the wireless bridge

It's best right now to ignore anything in the Getting Started guide that mentions Bridge mode. Unless you're getting fancy with networking at your build/practice site, you should set up the D-Link in AP mode, and it's unlikely that you would want to use anything other than the 2.4 GHz radio.

The Texas Robot Roundup event staff will give you instructions on how to set up your D-Link so that it will work with the competition field network. You'll probably just need to flip the switch to put it in Bridge mode, plug it in to a dedicated computer provided by the event, and run the automated configuration utility to program it with the appropriate security key for your team. Also, unless otherwise instructed, make sure to turn off the wireless networking on your Driver Station computer while at the competition.
