We might have to look into using an arduino, but since we're so familiar with the roboRIO and the programming now, it would be nice to use that system.

There's a Radio light in the roboRIO. Is that for Radio signals or does it illuminate when the D-Link is connected as well?
Technically WiFi falls within the radio range on the electromagnetic spectrum, so the terms can be used interchangeably (although for lack of confusion, most people just refer to radio as the lower frequency portion of the range). So when the radio light comes on, that means that it's broadcasting at either 2.4 GHz Wifi or 5GHz WiFi.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
