Re: Setting up a second router for practicing

I don't imagine it will change your brief disconnects much.
That can be due to many factors, such as heavy wireless use in your area, conflicting channels, etc.

Set the robot DLink to Bridge Mode.
Give it your team number as the SSID.
You can set it to acquire an IP address through DHCP or hardcode an IP address (10.te.am.1/255.0.0.0)

On the extra router set it to serve DHCP addresses in the team number range, 10.te.am.20 and higher
Also give it your team number as the SSID.

On your Driver Station PC, either wire Ethernet between the PC and the extra router, or connect to the team number SSID.
