iPhone constantly kicking off wifi using MyFader
« on: May 19, 2013, 08:32:47 PM »
Every few minutes we get kicked off the wifi while using MyFader. Using Apple airport express, everything set correctly, forgetting networks not using, etc. The whole band is experiencing this.

Very occasionally, this happens with the iPad, but the phones are constantly doing it.

Any ideas or settings to check?

when I let someone use my iPhone for their in-ear monitoring, I turn off Cellular Data in settings.
This keeps the phone from getting calls.

That was the next thing I was going to try, cellular data off.

Anything else?

Did you have a chance to try again, and if so- could you please share the result?
Thanks.

Ok, turning off cellular data did help. The iPhone only disconnected once in a four hour rehearsal, instead of every five or ten minutes.

I've just experienced this problem for the first time. It was in a bar with several strong WiFi signals, my iPod Touch and iPhone 4S (both on iOs6) would not stay connected for more than a minute or two though the iPad (2, iOs 5) was fine. Also I had considerable difficulty getting each of them to find the DL and connect initially. I've just set the DL up at home and everything is working fine so I suspect the crowded WiFi bandwidth (although the bar was quiet so not many punters with smartphones cluttering the airwaves up :-). Quite worrying, but I'm about to aquire a second iPad so I guess I can live without My Fader if the venue proves difficult.

Does that mean that the IPAD connecting at 5Ghz has no issues, whereas the Myfader connecting at 2.4 GHz has this issues?

5 GHz routers are presently MUCH rarer than 2,4GHz ones so you are much less likely to run into interference on the 5 GHz band :).
