What's up with 802.11n?

[dmlawrence]

We connected the robot to 802.11n in the 5ghz band, and left the 2.4ghz band in mixed mode for team members' laptops. We have not had any bandwith issues.

The only part that has to be 802.11n is the bridge. Setup the router to dual band 802.11g/n and that way the bridge on the robot can connect and your programmers laptops can connect.

We had our router on 2.4GHz b/g/n and we were having major lag issues!
(anywhere from .5-5 seconds of lag!!!)

We switched everything to wireless N 5GHz and it was noticeable improvement.(no noticeable lag what so ever)

Other teams might not have the same issue im just putting that out there....

Since these are dual-band routers, the best thing to do is setup an N-only connection for the robot (following the manual) and then a separate wireless connection that does b/g for connecting computers wirelessly. Our team tested this and it works (though we usually just plug in).
