Wireless settings

[IndySam]

I had a little trouble getting the wireless to work. I worked with it for a while until I figured out it was more than likely a security issue.

I found no instructions on setting up the wireless security so I just set my own passphrase and it worked. I tried to disable the security but that didn't work.

Did I miss a step or am I correct in setting my own passphrase? Do think FIRST will give us a passphrase to use at competitions?

This happened to us too. We reported this during the beta test, and I believe the documentation was going to be updated to reflect the fact that security is enabled as a default. It sounds like maybe it hasn't?

We created our own passphrase and it's worked fine as well.

I think most beta teams have been running without security (although a few have run it with security enabled).

I'm surprised you had problems setting it up without security. Do you have Wi-Fi Protected Setup enabled by any chance?

I know you said you messed with it quite a bit. Can you at least identify at what point in the process things stopped working according to the manual?

FIRST will be using security at the competitions, but the exact method of passphrase distribution hadn't been determined yet when the beta teams asked about it.
