D-Link Issues

[hdastwb]

After running our D-Link through the Java setup utility and connecting it to the robot, our team found that it was not transmitting or accepting HTTP connections. The power light is always solid orange, except for when one presses the reset button while rebooting the D-Link in which case the light flashes orange. While the light is in its flashing state, we are able to upload new firmware but uploading firmware has not improved our situation.

When I ran the Java bridge utility, I blanked out the WPA key field with the notion of creating an unprotected network. At first, I thought that this was the issue; the utility refuses to configure when the password is set but less than 8 characters, but leaving it blank was not anticipated by the people who made the utility and thus the utility went along and accidentally messed up the configuration of the bridge. However, loading new firmware should fix the problem if that is the case, which would show that it is not.

If any of you have had similar issues with your D-Link and/or think you can offer a solution, please post it here. Thanks!
