Re: How to program the D-Link for wireless?

For use in your build space, set it to AP mode by using the switch on the back (2.4 or 5.0GHz, depending on what bands your laptop is capable of... if you don't know, go with 2.4 GHz first). Then plug in the laptop to the bridge, and launch the FRC Bridge Configuration Utility. Put in your team number and run it - it'll take care of the rest!

Then you just need to enable wifi on the laptop, join the new network that appeared (the name for the network should be your team number), and manually set your IP address to 10.XX.YY.05, where XXYY is your 4-digit team number. The .05 can also be changed to something else not in use, which lets you have your driver station and a programming laptop connected at the same time.
