From my phone conversation with the Canadian distributor of Sound Craft in Montreal, the Ui models only have 2.4GHz wireless built in. It's smart there's an Ethernet port built in to enable the use of an external dual wireless band router of your preference. ;)
WK154:
That's unfortunate, the lesson in that is don't believe everything manufacturers tell you or advertise. Why is it that the audio industry designs EOL (end of life) products into their new toys? Most even cost more than the new replacements such as the 10/100 vs. 10/100/1000 Ethernet chips. ::) Without that Ethernet port (wired connection) this product would be useless.
Keyboard Magic:
I quite agree. I’ve been lurking on one of the Ui forums and reading about the little bugs and how everyone is waiting for firmware updates to fix them and add more features and so on. Sounds familiar indeed. We are all in the same boat I think, no matter what we own. It all boils down to which issues and features are a big deal and what you can live with to run those gigs to make a living.

Qu-Pac is the business.
Turned up at a gig last week without my iPads - they forgot to load themselves into the van after getting some music added ;D
Did the gig from the QU-PAC touch sensitive front panel - quick and easy.
It's a very usable interface and not like an 80's mobile phone menu......
Worth considering whenever the wifi, cat5 & HTML worlds are conspiring against you.

Ah, so you are still around? Excellent. Nice to see you post again! You have to watch that gear, no matter how much training it gets, it's very sneaky!
I've been playing with the Q App and it looks great, but I still can't quite wrap my old brain around it yet. MF still does it for me. And I must shamefully mention that the Soundcraft Ui HTML app is pretty slick too. :-[ But in all fairness, I will give the Q app some more workouts. You never know. ;)
