Re: Connectivity Issues
The SSID doesn't really matter for at home use, but you have to be able to connect and browse to the DLink to change it to something else.
Since you are unable to browse directly to the router (and I assume you've connected them by wire or wireless), that probably means that your laptop and router do not have compatible IP addresses and netmasks.
Interestingly enough the DLink & laptop don't require compatible IP addresses unless you want to browse specifically to the DLink.
You can use the Radio Config utility I mentioned earlier if the router is one of the 1522 DLinks. The utility will change the SSID to your team number as well as set the router IP/netmask correctly. It will do so by changing the laptop IP/netmask to be compatible with the DLink in either it's factory default or FRC standard settings.
Or you can browse to the DLink or third-party router manually and change the router settings by hand, by resetting the laptop IP to match what you think the router settings are. For instance, if you think the DLink has an IP address of 10.39.58.1 then make sure your laptop IP address is 10.39.58.5, so they are in compatible IP ranges.
If however, the DLink is using a factory default IP address (192.168.0.50), then you will have to make your laptop IP 192.168.0.5 (and browse to the default IP address of course).

We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. - Kims Robot [more]
