Competition Router Problems

After just competing at the Granite State competition in New Hampshire, we kept coming up with a problem involving our router. After every round, or time we connected to the robot on the playing field, we wouldn't be able to connect to the router via Ethernet in the pit. If we wanted to preform any diagnostics on the robot, we had to re-flash it using the provided competition computers. As you can probably imagine, this was a big time waster. With having to worry about mechanical obstacles, the last thing we wanted to do was run our router back and forth. As of right now, we have no way to test a new router, as we don't have a regulation testing field, or a way to connect to the robot in the same fashion. If anyone had this same problem or found a solution to it, we would greatly appreciate some input before our next competition. Thank you.
