Radio wifi packet loss

[Daniel_H]

This was the cause of our packet loss. Every 11 seconds there were a 100% packet loss that was interfering heavily in our PID controller. Killing the process solved it. Thank you very much for the tip

Look for it in your add/remove programs. Or if you want to keep autodesk, Akamai has an interface options menu. You can Disable it. That will effectively kill the net connection for Akamai and then you shouldn't experience the loss as well!

Hope this helps!

We were having something very similer. Our school has 4 differn't school wifi networks running, so from the web interface of the OM5P we changed the channel that it runs on. This way it was't having to fight with all the school networks and then we could keep a solid connection to it.

Good luck

We were having bad glitches the other night and found that the AP on the robot decided to be on channel 9. The school networks are on 1, 6, and 11. That meant that the robot channel had a huge amount of retransmissions due to interference. I looked at the configuration and that indicates it should typically be on 11.

Last night, the robot was on channel 1 and everything was fine. We also learned that the team's new laptops only support 2.4 GHz. So we setup another router to bridge 5GHz so we can grab it if needed.
