Re: Wireless Classmate
I have done it on a WRT54GS running DD-WRT before as our teams Linksys WRT610N managed to get sent down to the basement of our school a few weeks prior to a demo. So as long as your classmate can connect it will work fine. For testing we used personal computers most of the time and we always did it via wireless.

I don't recollect any latency issues either with it set up in this method.

The layout was roughly:

Robot - (5 to 10 feet) - Classmate - (10 feet) Router in corner plugged in.
