Exclamation Periodic connection loss to D-link

For the past few weeks that we've been testing our robot, we've been having some major difficulties keeping a connection to the D-link. Our dashboard will flicker between teleop disabled and teleop enabled, even while we are connected to the D-link. We've even tried hooking up a physical Ethernet cable to the D-link and to the laptop, but it doesn't help any.

The disconnections seem to be directly linked to when we use a lot of power. If we turn abruptly, or especially when we pull a heavy load, we'll lose connection. In fact, on the dashboard, the battery use will shift to critically low during these instances. Perhaps these disruptions are linked to us trying to use too much power in too short of a time frame?

Any ideas on how to fix this problem, would be GREATLY appreciated!

We are using LabVIEW.
