We have a permanent configured router at IP 10.0.0.4

It is a dual band N router, broadcasting two unique SSID's. They are KELL2 and KELL5 for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands respectively.

All the robot bridges are configured to latch onto SSID KELL5 ( which solve a lot of problems in noisy environment when you are doing demos )

The robots are configured using the 10.xx.yy.zz scheme where xx.yy is the team number split, and the zz is the preassigned addresses, 1 for the bridge, 2 for the cRio, camera at 11, ds typically at 5

Our robots are

1311
1312
1313
1314
1315
1316
1317
1318
1319
1320
1321
1322
1323
1324

And it works perfectly great.

All the driver stations are hardwired into the router.

Development laptops connect to the router at 2.4 or 5 GHZ, doesn't matter. The only thing about this scheme is developers have to manually set an ip address on their pc in order to get on the right network ( but now that I think about that, it could be fixable. )
