[QUOTE="Chad Young, post: 88452, member: 699"] Re: Wireless routers An excellent question. A quality router operating in the 5GHz spectrum gives your best option for iPad (or other wireless device) control if you are using 802.11a/b/g/n wireless. Use WPA2 and a secure PSK. Do not bother hiding the SSID or lock down by MAC address. Where possible, you want to be very close to the wireless access point (WAP). If I were mixing FOH, I would have a WAP at FOH and on a WAP stage connected via Cat5 copper so I had a decent chance of functioning wirelessly at each end. However, I would not put myself in a situation where the 802.11a/b/g/n HAD to work in order for the show to go off. It's just too darn easy for consumer devices and a few clever RF generators to saturate the spectrum used by that form of wireless and render it useless. That's my $0.02 as a sound guy and a internet engineer. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
