• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Range 1 through 19 is for robot, driver station, and equipment used in competition.
  • .1: radio
  • .2: roborio
  • .5: driver station
  • .10: Jetson

Configuring PCs and Macs for mdns

For Macs: if you have issues connecting to robot network try this via Terminal

networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi

To change IP on Windows computers use Control Panel's network status and local area network settings for TCP/IP configuration.

To change IP on Mac computers: Click "Open Network Preferences" under the wifi settings. Click "Advanced". Click "TCP/IP". Set Configure IPv4 to "Manually" to be able to set your custom IP in "IPv4 Address".

And, remember -- ping is your friend! From Terminal check if you can see the robot ping 10.49.15.2
