Re: Multiple cameras

Plugging both cameras into the robot bridge is an easier way of handling two cameras. The cameras won't affect your wireless bandwidth limitation unless the images are requested over wireless, i.e., the Driver Station makes the request for images from the particular camera.
If both are connected to the robot bridge, then the camera IP addresses would be 10.25.39.11 for the first one, and probably 10.25.39.12 for the second camera. Really your choice of .12 and higher.

The camera used by the cRIO would not send wireless packets, just local Ethernet packets to the cRIO.
The same as if you used a second image processing computer on the robot that requested camera images over an Ethernet connection.

That said, using the second cRIO port is fine too.
That particular port expects the camera's factory default IP address of 192.168.1.50
