The robot-to-field Wi-Fi connection has always used the 5 GHz band.

Unfortunately, a bug (or at least an undesired feature) in the D-Link firmware showed up in the presence of sufficiently many 2.4 GHz access points, even if the bridge wasn't actually trying to connect to any of them. It's not exactly an interference issue, but it does disrupt the communication.
