Actually, we found that orientation can be a huge issue. When we had teams in for our pre-ship practice day and scrimmage, one team had mounted their WGA sideways. Midway through a practice match, they lost comms and did not regain comms for the remainder of the match. Upon later troubleshooting, it was found that rotating the WGA 90° while keeping it in the same position allowed the WGA to connect to the field network again.

It seems that in very close proximity to the router, the orientation does not matter much. However, as the robots get farther away (it was still less than 30 feet, unobstructed, from the router), the orientation matters. We found that it is best to place the WGA on a flat plane (bottom of WGA parallel to ground)
