Classmate not connecting wirelessly

[Robobuff1.0]

So I have the D-Link DAP-1522 set up to specifications in the KOP tutorial. The classmate is also configured to 10.16.33.5 (in local area connection though not sure if i need to change that to wireless connection). the classmate will also not find any wi-fi networks that our other laptops can find. however i do get connection when i plug an Ethernet cable into the classmate from the DAP-1522.

on the back of the d-link make sure that it is AP mode

AP=Wireless and no Ethernet
Auto=Whatever is connected first
Bridge=Ethernet only

[Robobuff1.0]

It is on AP mode. i can get the DAP-1522 to connect with the other laptop that i am using, but i cannot deploy code to the cRIO.

did you reimage the robot?

also you need to make sure you have the WPA key

and make sure the ip address of the clam is 10.xx.yy.6 where xx.yy is your team number

[Robobuff1.0]

Yes i have re-imaged the cRIO. i haven't been asked for the WPA key. and should the IP be changed in local or wireless access?

Did you follow the Rev A updated "How to Configure the Radio"? It was just posted.

You want your wireless connection to be 10.16.33.5, not the Local LAN.

[Robobuff1.0]

Yes I have fallowed that. I have also double checked it as well. I also just changed the IP of the classmate and it didn't do anything. I am thinking that it has something to do with how the classmate cannot even see out shops wireless network.

make sure that the wireless is enabled there should be a light on by the f keys. if its not you need to press the fn button and find the button to turn on the wireless

[Robobuff1.0]

Yes the wireless is enabled. I even disabled it and enabled again, but it didn't change anything.

Now if for some reason when i tried to reconfigure the classmate with the update earlier it did not work. could that be the problem?

[tomy]

update?

[Robobuff1.0]

sorry. it was the 2011 Image for '10 classmate. one of my team members used the flashdrive on the wrong computer so i downloaded it from the FIRST website.

[tomy]

oh... that would not make a difference

and you said it wasn't picking up any wireless you say?

[Robobuff1.0]

correct, but for some reason it auto connects to one of the ASU networks nearby.

[tomy]

when you go to set up your change your ip address look at the other tabs there should be one that at the top is says "Use window to control your wireless"

make sure that is checked

Until you said that, it sounded like the wireless network adapter on your Classmate might be broken or misconfigured. Now it just sounds like you're not paying attention to what you're saying.

Let's start at the beginning. If you've reimaged your Classmate and applied the Driver Station update, you should be able to log on as the Driver and set your team number. That will set the IP address appropriately, and if the D-Link is properly configured and powered up, you should be able to connect to it without extra effort.
