Re: Drivestation to Robot without router?

We left our back up radio in the crate after Vegas, so we installed the kit router on our robot to practice before Atlanta.

We enabled the second (b/g) radio on the router and connected the classmate directly to that wifi network.

The big problem is you have to wait a while for the router to boot after you turn the battery on. On top of that it seemed like there would be short loss of communications. Not sure if it was slight fluctuation in supply voltage to the router, or a poor wireless radio in the Classmate... I can't speak for the PD's supply or what Intel is using inside the laptop.
