Driver Station Lags Network Connection after Windows Update

Hey,

Lately we were experiencing some highly unusual latency to both the cRIO and the wireless AP. I.E. pings on the order of 700-2300 ms.

We hadn’t changed anything in the code since it was last working, and we tried swapping in a fresh battery to see if that was the case. We made sure the cables were all plugged snugly into the robot, and verified the high latency from another computer, too.

After racking our brains trying to figure out what could cause it, I remembered that I’d noticed Windows running an update in the background. After a System Restore, everything worked perfectly.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I’ve seen some stuff during an update, but not after the update.

Strange. From a few other teams I’ve talked to it seems like it might just be an isolated incident with our configuration, but I’m really curious what’s causing it.

is this with windows 7 or 8?
