We accidentally bagged our radio after our last competition

and want to use our spare control system to make some code modifications ahead of our next competition. We want to implement cameras and some sensors so we need to run the code on our spare RoboRio. We do not have a second radio but we have several old DLink radios from prior seasons. Can we use a DLink in tethered mode? If so, how does it need to be configured?
Thanks.
