4800 Wireless Set up.. need few advices..

Malinda

Hi..,

Can anyone advise me with the best suitable wireless router to control the 4800 with a tablet PC? in a article i saw DBX has mentioned 802.11 B&G wireless router. but i need to know what is the compatibility of a N wireless router? does DR4800 supports N type routers? any model suggestions ?
Please advise me with your experience.

Thanx in advance.

Cheers..!

The 4800 does not care what frequency the router transmits on. The tablet PC has to be \"N\" compatible or you have to buy a card for it. After trying a few different router models, I find the Apple Airport Extreme to be the most stable and consistant (as far as consumer units go).

Thanx Dennis. yeah i have hear the Airport extreme is pretty cool. but the problem is, the Tablet i use Windows Vista. does Airport extreme support Windows? Once again, thanx so much for your valuable information.
Appreciated alot.

Both of my laptops are Windows XP and work great with the Airport. Vista might make you jump through a hoop or two but I doubt it.

Thanx So much Dennis.
I'll give it a try and will let you know. does 4800 auto detect the IP settings, etc or do i have to manually configure everything..??
sorry for too much of questions.

Thank you

Hi Malinda,

The 4800 does support DHCP, which should be enabled by default. Therefore, if the router has a DHCP server in it, the 4800 will receive an IP address from this server.

Dennis

Once you configure the Airport as DHCP, you will never have to think about your network again. When configuring, the Airport will offer you three IP address \"ranges\"...select the one that begins with 192.168.

Yamaha digital consoles require static IP addresses and the factory assigns ones that are in that range. In the future, if you are using, lets say. a LS9 or M7CL, they will automatically select their static IP address from your dynamic network if it is available(and by selecting this range, you are making it available). You can then take your tablet PC to the bar and run your show wirelessly from there without re-configuring your network.
