Re: OM5P-AN dropped packets

Hey Greg

After posting, I noticed my computer couldn't even connect to the radio because the WiFi network wouldn't appear. I restarted and started troubleshooting.

I could connect to the radio with Ethernet and not experience any problems, but that somehow killed my WiFi connection with my home network and I couldn't connect to the internet while I had the cable in.

So I started by seeing if I had any programs on my computer that could affect communication. Akamai was disabled, so if couldn't be what other people suggested on other threads. I uninstalled VMWare and VirtualBox just to be sure it wasn't the three extra network adapters that were confusing the Driver Station.

I still couldn't see the network on WiFi, so I loaded up the FRC Radio Configuration Utility (after checking that there was nothing weird on the router by entering its status page). Instead of simply configuring the radio, I loaded the firmware again to completely reset it. I then configured it, but using only the 2.4GHz AP mode and the country as USA (I had previously used 2.4GHz + 5GHz AP and Chile) and let the utility do its thing. Afterwards, I had no problem connecting to the radio without even needing a restart and can ping both the roboRIO and the Jetson TK1.

I've attached screenshots of the DS running on Ethernet, WiFI and WiFi to the AP and Ethernet to my home network. The only thing which has seemed odd is the screenshot of Task Manager, which shows the WiFi network constantly oscillating with a nearly constant pattern. Is this normal?

TL;DR: Uninstalled extra network adapters, reflashed AP, reconfigured with USA and 2.4GHz AP mode
