If you're going to do it by changing the team number, you must change the number on the [robo/c]RIO as well. But that's not the easiest or most reasonable way to do it. It's best to keep the team number consistent. The only thing you need to do is to make sure the SSIDs on the D-Links are different. That way you can connect the appropriate Driver Station computer to each robot. With the two robots' networks thus separated, there is no interference.

We've always used a distinctive SSID on each robot's access point. It's easy to do. Just log into the D-Link's admin web page and change it to something that identifies that particular robot. Then you can connect your driver station computer to the wireless network corresponding to the robot you want to control.
