Robot Radio: Wireless Settings Tutorial Error

[569]

Tourtorial 3 - Setting up the Robot Radio

The following step is incorrect as of D-Link Firmware Version 1.21:

2. Set the D-Link unit to Bridge mode by changing the switch on the back of the unit. The radio must be in Bridge mode at competitions.

  You must set the D-Link unity into AP mode.  Then after step 12 you may change it back to Bridge mode.  The reason for this is that the wireless settings menu in step 8 does not appear when the adapter is in Bridge mode.

Hey 569,

If I understand correctly you are saying that you can't get this screen:

while in Bridge mode?

We are able to access the wireless network settings page while in Bridge mode here in the office (screenshot includes the mode). To be able to tell the bridge to connect to a wireless access point you need to be able to access this page while in bridge mode.
