WAPs

I'm thinking of adding an aRFR to my system. I would like to know if anyone has recommendations for a WAP that I should consider buying, or ones that I should avoid. Is a basic unit sufficient, or do I need a more advanced unit?

Thank you,

I've had good luck with using inexpensive wireless routers. However, there are set up concerns. You also need to be aware of IP address, since ETC uses the private 10. address by default. See the IP address wiki at : http://community.etcconnect.com/wikis/products/knowledgebase-etc-network-ip-addresses.aspx

I let the router act as a DHCP server- but thats because the only item on the network is the ION console. That way, anyone that has either irfr or arfr can join the network (once we give them the password) and get a valid IP adress to allow then to connect to the console. We use old school DMX to communicate with out non ETC dimmer rack. Also, we have small venues so the inexpenisve wireless routers have good enough coverage.

Not sure if that helps or not.

My biggest concern is coverage, the WAP will be in the booth at the back of the house. I don't think I will have a problem from the stage, but I may have some issues from the spot booth.
