Re: Puzzling comm / latency issue with Roborio and D-Link over wifi
I don't think there were actually firmware changes to the roboRIO, just library changes.

Anyway, it looks like you are seeing the 69sec glitch where your laptop wifi scans other channels looking to see what other access points are around. I have not personally seen this on any laptop I have access to, so I can't be too specific for how to fix it. But I have heard from others that they have improved it by downloading an installing the latest drivers for their wifi adapter.

Also, at an event, you will not be using the wifi on your laptop. You will be using ethernet and borrowing the field's wifi. So this wifi glitch, while annoying, will not affect you on the field.
