Re: Wireless router on robot
If you aren't concerned with the rules, this is not a problem and is super easy to do.
Simply:
1) Find a way to power the router.
2) Set its IP range to match the 10.TE.AM.x that we're used to.
3) Plug the cRIO into one of the LAN ports on the router (not the WAN).
4) Post your success story on chiefdelphi!
For #1, the answer is likely "just use the dedicated 12V port", but be sure to check what your router is expecting.
You can probably skip #2. Just be sure that the router, the cRIO and the laptop driverstation all agree on an IP range. It is probably easiest to set it up per FRC norm, but certainly not 100% necessary.
We used the WRT54GL with a lot of success, but I'm sure that just about any other wireless router would do just as well.
