Help!!! Wi-Fi issues...

The easiest thing to do to test the system is to connect the DS, either port, to the cRio port #1 using a patch cable, and connect the computer to the other port on the DS.

If you're using the OTB firmware on the cRio and DS then set your ip addresses to:
DS (already set) 10.0.0.5 subnet 255.0.0.0
cRio (already set) 10.0.0.2 subnet 255.0.0.0
Computer 10.0.0.6 subnet 255.0.0.0

IF you've upgraded the firmware in both the DS and cRio then replace 0.0 with your team number as described in the documentation.

You can then try pinging the DS and cRio, and attempting to download code and/or upgrading firmware.

With this configuration you can verify the system works, then you can configure the wireless.

I would recommend setting the gaming adapter settings appropriate for your normal network, probably 192.168.(0 or 1).(254 or other high number) subnet 255.255.255.0.

Once that is connected you should be able to connect your DS and computer and they should work without any issues.

Here is a my post to a similar question last month.

Since we are only communicating on a LAN, i.e. on a single switch, the router device is never involved in the communications between the DS and the cRio.

You can test this by changing the Ip address of the router to something else. It will still work.

/Explanation

So long as each device has its own IP, which happens if you change you team number, and the subnet masks of the devices communicating(DSs and cRios) match, then it will work.

If you don't read my whole post, if you change the team number on one DS and one cRio, then they will connect and not interfere.

If you have any questions I'll try to explain it more.
