Wireless Connection Problem

1 Router
2 Driver station (wait until it boots up) then go to step 3
3 cRIO
4 power up the wireless bridge

Our team has similar issues with the driver station getting stuck in No-Comm mode. We have the router and the driver station on the same power strip.
So we do a similar power cycle if stuck in the No-Comm loop.

1 Router/DS (power strip)
2 cRIO / wireless bridge (main battery switch)

Most of the time the communication works slowly but surely. The No-comm failures are small but it could be annoying if teams have to wait a minute for the system to startup and then possibly have to power cycle.

We are using Update 2.0 default code with 802.11b/g (because we don't have N laptops )
