Answers.Text: Wireless connection on the EV3 is such garbage, this morning it took me over half an hour to pair the thing with both wi-fi and bluetooth to no avail. In fact, it was so hard that I received all sorts of error variations, to the point where the brick **CRASHED** when searching networks for the fifth time. I needed wireless because it was too hard to stick the big wire into the brick which was barricaded by other mechanisms, but after all the work I just wished I didn't do it in the first place. No, seriously, never use wireless. If the first try doesn't work then don't even bother fixing it.
