Radio Lag / Randomly Dropping Communications

We have seen this more times than I'd like. We haven't been able to find the route cause yet. It seems to get worse the longer the crio goes without a reboot. If it sits long enough the Robot Code drops out for good.

I wonder if it has something to do with the QOS settings that were added to the router configuration this year. Do you have a camera on the robot? Try disabling the video on your Dashboard and see if that helps.

That was the last thing we tried at the practice yesterday. We asked all the teams to disable the live feeds to see if that helped the communication problems. No change.

I am hoping that the FMS prioritization of packets helps, but given the same problem with close communications (less than 5 feet) and when there were only two bots, I don't think it was a saturation issue.

It looks like this was it. We disabled QOS management on our router and it appears to be working fine.

What were the video settings that you were sending?

I don't honestly have a good answer to the question, but I felt it was worth mentioning that My team has had the exact same problems as well. Meaning this isn't an isolated incident. Could it be the new router configuring software that was given to us this year? Last year's bridge worked just fine and I configured that manually. This year I used the software and I am having issues. Or am I completely off?
