My standard spiel heard by over 100 teams in AZ and LA:

The radio must remain in bridge mode. Be sure the power connector fits well into the jack and is connected to the power converter (square grey thing, looks like a heat sink that Al refers to above) and that is connected to the 12V connection on the end of the Power Distribution board. If you hook it up any other way, you will be disappointed on the field.

Make sure your Driver Station is running software version 02.27.11 and your cRIO has version 28 if you are not using a CAN bus, or version 29 if you are. Yes, you can use v28 with a CAN bus if you are not having any issues.

When your team number is set on the Driver Station, it takes care of ALL network connections for you. You do not need to change network settings, so don't.
Takes just about the same amount of time it takes to reset the radio
