That's what i thought. That teams should be connecting through the DS router not the laptops wireless internet. Anyways we are having the same problem. I do everything in order that the manual says, but when it says to connect to the bridge(the robot adapter) wirelessly it doesn't seem to work. Also recently we encountered a new problem which is the wireless light on the bridge keeps blinking. Is that suppose to happen. I have tried resetting it from within(by doing the restore to factory settings) and also held the rest button for 30 sec. Redid the whole process and still no luck with connecting to the bridge through wireless or to stop the blinking light.


* The bridge does work when it is wired but not through the DS wireless router. I also tried pinging it and got no response but when wired the ping goes through. So its defiantly something with the wireless signal...

- Thanks
