At competition, your WGA bridge was configured to use WPA encryption to connect to the "744" access point. Go into its administration page at
http://10.7.44.1/ and set the security from WPA to None. Or, if you know what the encryption key is (a long string of random-looking characters), you could set the WRT router to have the same one.
The other option is to do a factory reset and follow the original directions to configure it from the beginning.
I don't know how your programmer is determining what the driver station is doing. It goes by IP address only, and has no concept of an SSID (which is what "linksys" and "744" are examples of).
