pic: Has anyone seen my teams router?!?!?!?

[phobozad]

Just so everyone knows, that insane(ly awesome) setup isn't required for running FMSLite. While it is true that the router can't have its subnet mask set to 255.0.0.0, it doesn't matter. The only time that comes into play is if the connected computers think that they need to route their packets though a gateway to another network (i.e. the subnet mask on the computer/robot NIC is set to 255.255.255.0). Only then will the routing fuctions of the router be called upon. Basically with the FMS setup the "router" is acting merely as a switch and wireless AP.

Having said that I know first hand what its like to be in that situation. Last year we ran into problems with the team 537 open house practice/competition and the new control system (and we were already behind schedule). We ended up running the whole thing on wireless-G without the WRT610N. It is surprising you didn't have any issues with interference running that many WAPs so close together.
