We investigated this further last night. We had the problem (lost packets every 64-68 seconds) with 100% consistency when the robot D-Link 1522 was configured as an "access point" with the Driver Station laptop connecting to the D-Link 1522 wirelessly.

We then switched to our normal driving practice configuration, with the robot D-Link 1522 in "bridge" mode, connecting to a Cisco/Linksys WRT-610N serving as the access point, with the Driver Station laptop wired directly to the WRT-610N. This latter configuration worked fine without any of the "64-68 second problem" occurring.

There is no evidence of the "64-68 second problem" in any of 1519's Driver Station logs from the Week Zero or Week 1 tournaments in which we participated.
