Camera loses connection when configured with Robot Radio

[Wildcat Robotic]

So if I understand you correct:

Set the PC IP and Subnet Mask to 192.168.0.11 and 255.255.255.0
Go to internet explorer and log in using 192.168.0.90 and username+password
Change the IP and subnet mask on the camera to 10.xx.yy.11 and 255.0.0.0
Set Username and Password to FRC and FRC
Connect the camera to the Robot Radio, then reboot the robot

Some differences:

1. Reset the camera first to make sure the camera is currently at 192.168.0.90, because you said you'd already used the Tool to try to reset it to 10.30.39.11
2. I don't think I'd use .11 for your PC, that just confuses things. The PC/Driver Station should be .5, a programming PC at .6, but yes, set your PC to 192.168.0.5/255.0.0.0
3. Internet Explorer to http://192.168.0.90
4. After a reset the login is Username: admin, Password: blank
5. Change the camera IP to 10.30.39.11/255.0.0.0
6. Create a new user account with Administrator privileges of Username: FRC, Password: FRC
7. You can already have the camera connected to the Robot Radio on the robot for all this, but you can also connect directly to the PC if you want.
8. Change the PC IP address back to 10.30.39.5/255.0.0.0
9. Test reaching the camera at it's new IP address using IE
10. Bring up the Dashboard to see if it finds the camera.

Does your camera truly loose connection or does it have an all black image?

We found that our camera, when left with auto-brightness control enabled, would eventually go completely black. After the camera is set to 10.xx.xx.11 login to it with a laptop and set auto-brightness to off.

Good Luck!
