D link wireless bridge

[Mark McLeod]

Ah, I didn't know that and misunderstood.
Thanks for the shortcut!

Is there a corresponding "dlinkbr"?

make sure your laptops wireless ip is 10.xx.yy.50

xx.yy= team number

example 10.30.38.50

Do you have to set the ip address as fixed on the development laptop? Its not obtained via DHCP from the DLINK?

Do you have to set the classmate's wireless address too? Should it be set to 10.x.x.5 like last year?

Do you have to press the button on the dlink when trying to connect?

Thanks,
Brian

If you don't have DHCP service enabled on the DAP, you'll have to set a static IP address on your development computer. It would probably be best to enable DHCP, telling it to give out addresses starting at 10.x.y.10 or so.

The Driver Station app should take care of setting the address. Yes, 10.x.y.5 is correct.

Never press the button. If it's anything like the older WGA, it's all about "easy" wireless security. You'll most likely end up with security enabled and an unknown WPA password. One of the first things we did was put a shield over the button so it doesn't get hit by accident.

Our team is having similar problems in that we're having trouble connecting to our D-Link router wirelessly, but the difference is that we cant even get into the router settings. We type in dlinkap as well as 192.168.0.50 and that hasn't been working either. We're not sure what we can really do at this point. We keep the settings on bridge generally, but it doesnt work under AP either. But when under AP and (very oddly) the router is connected to the internet, it is able to ping the cRIO, but not actually doing anything with it in the control station.
