The dl806 a mere 430 euros on thomann

Yup, agreed but it isn't truly "pro" kit in that respect :( Still, if it was we'd be paying a significant premium so I can live with it.

So, what is the cheapest way to get a wifi access point with a built in DHCP server? Is it to buy a standard router/switch/DHCP server/wifi access point such as an Apple Airport of some flavour or similar? ;D

Yup, that's what I said. Folks get all confused when they think of the DL as being "wireless" when it's not, and thinking that a network involves the internet, and etc...
Sure would be a lot more robust to have the DL have a static IP so it doesn't "miss" getting an IP if it is powered up at the same time as your DHCP server :( . I often have to change the power around after I'm first set up or the power gets otherwise interrupted and then you have to reboot the mixer after the router finishes booting. A mere split second power glitch often results in losing wireless connectivity and you don't really want to stop the show to reboot the mixer...

RR before you dig a deeper hole that your already in RTFM pgs. 147-154. You will find that the MF 3.x claims to have the ability to assign static IP addresses. Haven't tried it myself, too busy with other things. Probably want to do that docked and then set up the iPad if the address has changed. So you don't need a DHCP server since the iPad also allows static address assignments. Multihomed iPads are the WiFi and cellular connection versions. They can handle two separate networks. DL's of course are not included.
P.S. Behringer isn't the only one hiding features under edit :).

I'll check that out, thanks! Sure would help me out at gigs :) .
EDIT> Kinda funny - I now remember seeing that and planning on doing it - but never got a round tuit :facepalm: x( :-\
'Nother Edit> Just to be ornery I ordered up a used AP:

So no DHCP and no router to worry about - plus no wall wart (internal AC power supply) :) .

459 with the docking kit thrown in,
I reckon when they do it for 450 with the docking kit, rack bracket and plastic spacer I will jump in.
