Wireless Communication Setup (Home & Competition)

[SaMSoNhs]

Hello.

I am helping a FRC team(for a local event) to setup their robot. I am having problems with setting up access point for wireless communication and hoping to get some help to solve them.

I know I should follow http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...o-for-home-use link to setup radio for home usage. My problem is that when I connect access point to my pc(Wireless disabled, AP is in AP 2.4Ghz mode), I get an ethernet connection that says No network access. And bridge configuration utility does not list this network interface in the start up so I can not configure it.

I tried to follow some forum threads, but no luck so far.

As far as I understand, I should configure access point that way, then connect access point to the robot using ethernet and connect to the access point from pc through wi-fi, am I right?

My other question is, what will happen at the event? Do I keep access point on to the robot? Because guides state that it is for home usage only.

Sorry if my questions are too basic, I just did not have much time to start with, since competition is too close.

Thanks.
