New WET610n bridge

[johncap100]

I got the new WET 610N Bridge because our old bridge was having problems.

It worked great at the regional,  but now i am back home and trying to set it up to communicate with the router.  I reset the router to the default and can ping to it. i pressed the reset button on the WET 610N and according to all i hear the new default address should be 169.254.1.250, but i cannot ping to it. I thought i would be able to follow the same instructions as for the old bridge,  but no go,  any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you following the directions in in Configuring the WET610N radio from http://usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/content.aspx?id=452? It sounds like you are missing the part about changing the computer's IP address.

i did look at that and have yet to use it as it states how to configure to use on the

playing field and my first thought was that would not necessarily apply to using the router at home, but i will try it
thanks

It's the same except that you probably don't have WPA security at home.

so what do you think that the "security mode" , "Encrypton" and "Passphrase" should be set at?

thanks
