Wireless Connection Problem

[Jon236]

Can you ping the bridge (10.xx.yy.1)? For some strange reason, when we do that, comms resume.

No, unless the adapter is plugged in it has no communication with the router. If it is plugged in, it is pingable and we can log into it with the 10.xx.xx.1 ip. If not plugged in it never joins the wireless network, despite having the correct gateway and ssid, gateway etc. settings.

There is a thread about boot order of the cRIO and wifi bridge. If this problem occurs with a cold boot of the entire program, but resolves when the cRIO is rebooted while the bridge stays up, then it is now relatively well understood, and a workaround for the bridge behavior will be released pretty soon.

Could you point me towards that thread? I've searched but I've been unable to find it.

If it's any help, I've been unable to connect wirelessly to the router with any laptop, as well.
