Wireless Networking Problems

[cgmv123]

Here's what worked for my team.

1. Follow the reset procedure in the How-to document. Don't connect the cRIO or the classmate to the Router yet.
   
2. Then, take a computer that's not the classmate and set it's IP address to 192.168.0.51
   
3. Connect that computer and only that computer to the Netgear router in AP mode via Ethernet cable. Open Internet Explorer (other browsers have issues), go to 192.168.0.50. You should get the router login page. Configure your Router as described in the How-to document.
   
4. Enable the wireless card on the classmate (Fn+F1 on the 2010 version) and connect to the network you created. You should be able to drive remotely. I didn't have to do this, but you may have to change your NIC in the DS software.

Access point mode is used for testing, while bridge mode is only used for competition.

Note: We had issues programming wirelessly from another computer, so we connected it via ethernet cable to the router. We didn't have any issues other than that and I'm not even sure why we went back to cable only.
