We have experienced no problems with any of the wireless gear, despite using cheap generic equipment. The cRIO and WPILib should have no problem using different equipment, nor should they be aware of the change.

When you say the network performs bysmally, what do you mean? Does it connect? Does it lose connection? Is there significant delay in communication?
I didn't know this... does FIRST do something special for the Israeli Regional as far as FMS and the onboard bridges? Or do they get special clearance from the Israeli Military?
