Two routers

[skippyParticipant]

Is there any way to have two routers hooked to the board and have them both work with the apps?

Why would you want to do that? What are you trying to achieve?

[skippyParticipant]

One as a possable back up, or have the qu users on one and the FOH on the other.

Just curious if it can be done…

Sure, why not? Just ensure that:

– All routers are configured for the same subnet (different Router IP addresses, of course)
– There is only one router supplying DHCP addresses (or ensure that DHCP ranges do not conflict)
– Both WLAN settings use same Name/Security/Password

Have this setup with an Airport Express at FOH and some cheap TP-Link on Stage.

The two wlans don’t need to be the same ssid/security – but otherwise a good description of what needs to happen.

Two dhcp servers can work if they are set to different ranges (it’s a harmless race if done well)

If you share ssid and security then enforce channels – different channels per radio
