D-link dropping out

Also, just generally watch the lights on the robot and the bridge to see if anything changes from normal behavior.

will try this thnx.

Are you sure it is the wireless losing communication? Is it possible that something isn't running right and drops the voltage so low the crio is rebooting? I guess in short, do you lose communication, robot code, or both?

we just lose communication.

The dedicated power output functions down to a 4.5V input, and it takes a lot to force a voltage dip big enough to bring you down that far.

communication with the robot is lost....
