It makes sense that it should work.  After all, it doesn't matter to the DL mixer how the router is connected to the ipad.  Only question is does it matter to the ipad how it's connected to the router?  Someone ought to do it, but I don't have the stuff and I don't think anyone should be buying that to just test it. 
I figure one of the DL32R owners will give it a go - before or after they have an issue at a gig :facepalm:. Us DL1608/804 owners already have a usable wired solution 8) :P.

It sounds reasonable, but I'm not willing to shell out a bunch of cash to test it. So far, the wireless solution has been flawless.

So why don't you let us in on your little secret, others don't experience your level of confidence.  ;)

The dock on the DL1608 is quite usable, if not perfect...

I will try it soon, maybe in a week or two.  I already have most of the pieces in place, just need the lightning to USB & the powered hub.

I have all the required parts ... somewhere. I know I can put my hands on the camera connection kit and the powered hub in short order. As a keyboard player, I use it to connect the iPad to my keyboards on OnSong can handle patch changes for me. I just have to remember where I stashed the USB-to-Ethernet gizmo. I have a gig tomorrow, so if I find it and I have time during the gig, I'll give it a go. Otherwise, I can probably test it sometime over the weekend.

Well I haven"t heard from anyone with the wired solution via the wired USB-Network connection. Also make sure you understand what it takes to recover from a disconnect.  :)

Unfortunately, life and the day gig have gotten in the way of testing ... And then I forgot all about it. I will try it when I get some time.

As I see it now there may be a solution coming with the introduction of the iPad Pro and a speculated USB 3.0 port. Unless Apple cripples it for Ethernet (no support) it would be the wired network solution for the DL series. So far I have not heard about a Lightning to Ethernet adapter. Get ready to spend another $1k to get this feature.

To be perfectly honest, the wireless connection, for me, has been flawless. I wouldn't spend $1K for a wired backup.

Michael and neither would I. Not when you can buy a 16 channel mixer for about that with wired ability and expand it for less than $1K.

A lesson here. Never mention flawless with Murphy lurking about.  ;)
There is always a first time I'm sorry to hear.

Ha Ha. Good point. Well, it's still been flawless on my primary iPad.
