Re: Router Problems
Hopefully it's just a power problem:
  • I assume you have it wired to the robot?
  • What does the power wire connect to, from where on the Power Distribution Panel is it drawing power and what's wired in-between?
  • Where did you get the power cable with the DLink barrel connector from-cut off the wall adapter that came with the DLink or a Radio Shack or other purchase?
Proper DLink wiring:
  1. The DLink barrel connector gets wired to the 5v side of the 12v/5v converter
  2. The 12v/5v converter gets wired to a little white mini-wago connector
  3. The mini-white wago connector plugs into the Power Distribution Panel at the very special 12v receptacle reserved just for the DLink.
