I don't understand why the brand of IP addressable mixer connected to the router would make any difference, so I've likely missed something.


Neither do I but I keep getting the "no wifi available" message with anything other than cheap 'routers" on the M7
When the Bullet did work, it was great, but not reliable.
I have launched $300 worth of equipment into the bin as the results are not worth the frustration. If they are out of sight, I won't be tempted to try again....and again...and again.
Can't tell you how many hours I have wasted on this.
Here is the deal...
When I turn the key on the car, I want the f#&* thing to start!
Same with WiFi remote control. All I should have to do is address the console(s) to the correct IP range.

This whole networking think hurts my head. At least Dante networks actually...well...WORK!

I'll pay for shipping & some frustration compensation :P

This is what I use too. I use a velcro strap to mount it on a spare mic stand up high. The setup wasn't completely automatic but it was much easier than what I read over on the Bullet thread.

This is basically my plan to get/do. But it is for my A&H gear not Yamaha, so no halps to OP.

Assuming that message is coming up on your iPad, that certainly is not related to the console you're using. If you're getting that message, you'd get it even without a console connected.

I agree.  This is an issue between your remote device and whatever router/WAP is in use, not the console.

I use Netgear WNDR3700 units. They just work.

If you're getting a "No WiFi Available" message on StageMix when using static IPs and don't have other WiFi issues, then that can be because the DNS/Router info is left blank in the network config on the iPad.

True.
To be more accurate, it's the Yamaha software that is throwing the code.
It's not "seeing" something it wants and no one I have talked to can elaborate as to what it is.
Doesn't happen on any other console software on the iPad.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but just in case...

Aside from the TF series, which is a much newer design in terms of networking and user interface, Yamaha consoles w/ a network port pretty much have to be on the same subnet with the computer or iPad running remote control software. That's the basic problem with the Bullet, in that it has only one hardware port which is essentially the same as the "Internet" port on most small wifi routers. We use Netgear N600 wifi routers, and they have four local ports and one Internet port. Guess which port is always covered with a P-Touch label saying "don't use"?

We bought one of those Bullets a couple years back, and it's useful for some things but definitely not controlling Yamaha consoles.

I'm not sure if this is a terminology thing but I'm Perry sure that unless you have two correctly stop rioters linking the subnets nothing will communicate unless it's on the same subnet...

If your using a proper switch and not just a cheap one it could be that the Yamaha consoles just don't recognise IP traffic correctly and therefore the switch doesn't forward it correctly but I'm no IT pro so I could be misunderstanding things.

As far as I know ubiquity and a lot of higher end WAP devices have a lot more granular control of things, it could likely be a configuration setting that Yamaha hasn't address that is causing the incomparability.

Just checking, but you know that on the with the iPad Air 2 and up you have to set the M7 interface to 10meg instead of 100meg in the network settings, right?
Also, you are filling in the Router and DNS fields on your iPad if you're using Static IPs, correct? I never use static, I set my WAP to the 192.168.0.x subnet (default for Yamaha) and use DHCP. It's more convenient and works every time for me.
