====== 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 ===== * Factory reset router * 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 * Set 5ghz wireless name to: AHSMixer * Hide SSID * Wifi password: ===== Resources ===== * [[https://rolandus.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/208804946-M-200i-Troubleshooting-iPad-Connection-Issues|M-200i: Troubleshooting iPad Connection Issues]] * [[https://rolandus.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/4406966542747/iPadGuidedAccessMode.pdf|Setting up Guided Access mode on the iPad]] * [[http://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/m200i_manual_e03.pdf|m200i Manual]] * [[https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/M-200i_Remote_setup_e01.pdf|Instructions for setting up 5ghz Network - page 2]] * [[https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-to-set-up-wi-fi-routers-for-digital-mixers/#|Sweetwater Guide to setting up router for mixers]]
