Re: Using multiple robots at once HELP

One trick that I have found to reduce lag in WiFi heavy areas is to encrypt and hide the robot's network. Go into the DLink's settings and enable encryption and check the box that says "hide SSID" or something similar on the wireless settings page. This will hide the SSID from devices that might try to connect to it. To connect to the network, you will have to search for the SSID. See this tutorial for details on how to connect in Windows 7. I have used this method at the Detroit Maker Faire with multiple robots and other WiFi networks many times with success.
