[FTC]: FCS practice problems

[emmell]

The recommended model from FIRST these days is the Linksys E1200.

we are using the same older linksys the wrt54g and it worked at one time but now i am puzzled as to why it decided to stop working the second day we went to use it

Echoing Mannie's earlier post, you should definitely check out the stuff posted by FIRST here: http://www.usfirst.org/ftc/samantha

We had a ton of issues with wireless connectivity at first, but now it works silky smooth. I remember the kids having to update the firmware on Samantha. We also had to configure the router with security settings, via that guide, and then run a setup program on the FCS so both sides knew the proper wireless security password. From there we would push the red button to 'sync' the devices, and then everything worked perfectly. Still does today.

You'll get it working! If not, come post again and we'll continue to help you. Best advice I can give right now is to get those FIRST guides handy and start everything from step 1.

Thank you we started over from scratch and it worked we have been running it for three days straight now. We are keeping our fingers crossed! Thanks for everyone's help!
