Router Setup
Goal
To provide wireless access to the sound mixer in the auditorium using an iPad.
Problem
Cell Phones use the 2.4ghz range, and once the auditorium is filled with people, the 2.4ghz band becomes overly saturated. This causes the iPad to lose connectivity.
The iPad periodically loses connectivity when a notification happens.
Solution
Install a router to create a 5ghz only network for the mixer.
Secure/obscure the router using a wifi password AND a hidden SSID
Test iPad connection from various points in the auditorium.
Setup “Guided Access” mode for the m200 app. This will stop the iPad from receiving notifications while connected to the mixer.
Specs

Set new admin router password. (Write it down!)
Set router IP address to 10.20.30.1
Disable DHCP on router
Disable 2.4ghz Radio on router
