Driver won't communicate with robot

[Chris_Ely]

I have seen this happen at demos when there are many WiFi networks , and devices around. Other devices like smart phones will try to connect automatically to the network. We solved this problem by making the robot network an encrypted hidden network by selecting enable hidden wireless in the radio's wireless settings.

How would we access the radio's settings? We can't seem to find it.

Go to the radio's IP address in a browser. Then go to setup, and check "Enable Hidden Wireless," and hit save. You will then have to manually tell your computer to connect to the network as described here.

The only other solution I can think of is that in Driver Station under the Setup tab in the 'Choose NIC' option make sure that your setting is set so that you DON'T configure it automatically, but instead through wifi. However, I believe that you said you were able to connect, so this may not be a viable solution.
