However, when we tether the ethernet cable, (directly from the laptop to the cRIO) we get the same green radio and ethernet signals but the light on the cRIO slot does not light up.
1st: This may be a little simple and looking at your problem probably not the solution, but have you tried using a different Ethernet cable? It just may be you have a bad cable.

2nd: I don't know if you did it just for the picture or what, but are all the modules in for the cRio? In my experience it is generally bad to take them out.

3rd: Try to reset the bridge. It may just be a "frazzled up" in there and need some tuning.

4th: This one seems like the most likely one to me. What did you put as the ip address for your robot? It should be 10.xx.yy.2 , XX and YY being your team number (ex XXYY=3413).

5th: Read through the posts before. Some of those may be it too (router encryption being a big one)

Hope this helps!
