re: X32 Discussion
In my answer, basically the same as yours, I made the assumption that 192.168.1.1 was the predominant default router address.
I see now that while XControl comes up with 192.168.1.100 as the default address, the X32 defaults to 192.168.0.100 (or notthing at all) and the XiControl defaults to 192.168.2.2
This complicates matters slightly. As long as the default in the XControl is 192.168.1.100, I would go with that and change it on the X32 and on the iPad, and if the router has another default, change that to 192.168.1.1
So the whole process becomes:
Connect PC to access point/router, log into access point set accsess point ip to 192.168.1.1 and enable DHCP. save setting. At this point you might have to reset the pc if the ip address on the router was changed.
Connect again to router to verify and at the same time set a name and a password for the WiFi
Go into Setup and the network tab on the X32 and set ip address to 192.168.1.100, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.1.1 and save settings
Plug the x32 into the router and it should be possible to connect the XControl without any fiddling in XControl setup
Connect the iPad to the network, and set it up with password, automatic connect etc.
Start XiControl and go into setup and connections if it doesn't pop up by itself, and set the X32 address 192.168.1.100 and connect.
Finally log into the access point and uncheck "transmit network name", or check "hide network" or something else to that effect to stop peole trying to log onto your WiFi.
