Re: Post-Competition Wireless

That PDF would have been really useful to have downloaded before yesterday. We had a demo in the basement of the TX capitol, so there was little wireless reception, and all of the capitol wireless networks were hidden and encrypted, so no internet. But I managed to get both of our 2009 robots working again after about an hour and a half of hacking.

I used the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" tool on the router. Basically, I setup all the correct settings on the router that I could remember (all encryption disabled, team number SSID's, IP pool range) and then followed the instructions for the Wi-Fi Protected Setup. I couldn't get anything to work until I had all the right things configured in the right way at the right time, which was as follows:

1) IP address on the computer set to 10.team.num.6
2) ALL encryption disabled on the router.
3) Computer connected to router via ethernet hard line.
4) Bridge connected to router via ethernet hard line.
5) Press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the bridge (on the front, picture of a lock).
6) Click the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the router (through your web browser, logged into 10.team.num.4, on Wireless>Basic Setup).
7) Wait for the operation to complete.
8) Repeat if it doesn't work.
9) Drive robot in front of baffled congressmen.

Having done very little networking before, that was fun to do from scratch. Thank goodness they got roaming wireless mode to work on Ubuntu 9.04.
