Well, our connection wasn't intermittent when we tried to set wireless up manually. Sometimes it just wouldn't work when we hooked it up and we had to go back in and mess with stuff to make it happen. When I tried it with FIRST's instructions, it would simply connect to the router but not to the robot (connection light on DS was not lit). Could that still be a DHCP issue with our router? How could we switch that off?
EDIT: I looked in the Getting Started manual at some of the images of the router setup "web pages." There are settings for a DHCP Server in the Basic Setup tab (this is page 50). It is enabled by default. However, you are instructed to set the start address sufix to 10, so since that's significant it must be used. That makes it sound like you can't just disable it. However (again
) from the info in Mark's post, I would interpret this setting to mean that it gives out addresses starting with 10, which is above anything that is used in the control system. So then it wouldn't conflict and ultimately I'm headed down a dead end with this, right??
