Check to make sure you can connect with your WiFi on the ipad first. Setting a static IP shouldn't be a problem but it doesn't sound like something a 2 year old would stumble upon. But if it is the ip address on the DL32R, do a factory reset of the unit. Any shows are kept on your ipad anyway. I'm not sure how to do a factory reset, but the manual should have that. Let us know if that helps. Beno might be able to help if the reset doesn't. And also, if it's brand new and still under warranty, Mackie's service department has turned around and been helpful lately. But try the reset first.
