wireless communication sparatic/dangerous

[mbone206]

Did you get this working, I have same problem... Connected from driver station to bridge, bridge to crio -- then OK..

Set lap top ip to 10.2.23.5, sub net same as bridge, 255.0.0.0

Does Gateway need to be set? set it to 10.2.23.4....???

One thing, setting up bride, asked for Pre-shae key, put what was in instructions, change team name: 0223WPAKEY -- not sure if leading '0' needed

we are still not communicating wireless, appreciate support

The Default Gateway for your PC should be the address of the D-Link Access Point (10.2.23.1). Since the subnet mask puts the cRIO (10.2.23.2) on the same subnet, however, the Default Gateway will not matter.

Your SSID should be set to "223" with no leading zero. If you are using wireless security, the key can be whatever you want it to be, as long as you enter that key on every device that needs to connect to the DAP.

And just to make sure everyone is on the same page, I'm referring to pages 6-9 of the How to Configure Your Radio guide. The DAP-1522 will be put in Access Point mode, not in Bridge mode.

UPDATE!!

Just found out the issue is in our classmate!

The wireless in our teams classmate has a huge latency in the communication with the router from the wireless card. I spent a total of about 30 hours fighting this thing and here is what I got. Our new classmate....Rookies only....PINGS from 100ms to 1623ms....Opened it up and the wire on the antenna is connected well. Per request of CTL tech, I loaded the new driver in it from CTLcorp FTP and the issue still occurs.

I loaded the driver station into my VIAO and I had a 1ms to 2ms PING return.

So here is the bad news. If you PING the router and have this kind of response the issue may be in the classmate itself. Mine will be going back to CTL for review/repair.

I suggest if you are having this issue Ping the router and check your return rates. If you have the slow speeds you need to load the driver station onto a separate laptop and check if you have the same condition. Hope this helps before pulling anymore hair out.
