Wireless Bridge Setup [Help Needed]

[Mark McLeod]

Well, you must know that you can't use your extra router at competition, right?

As far as using it goes, you can change your DLink to bridge mode, and set it to use the same SSID that your other router is set for. Also set them to share common bands, and keep the security settings compatible.

Here are some robot network variations you can use.

In competition we will only use Ethernet cables to connect our Classmates to our robots in the pits and on the fields:

• In the pits, we are required to tether by Ethernet cable to the robot (use the extra DLink ports, so make sure you can easily get to them)
• On the field we will plug a field supplied Ethernet cable into our Classmates.

We don't use the Classmate wireless at all. The field has it's own industrial Access Point used to wirelessly communicate with the robot DLinks.

it is needed for practice driving and practice competitions. the range of them classmate directly isn't all that great, and at the practice comps, the boost in signal strength provided by the router well be very helpful in preventing dead/uncontrollable robots
