Ui Mixer External Router Configuration

Guys You will notice that I don't say the Mixer's name (Ui) correctly. This is because i say it in Portuguese :) which is my Mother language.. I do apologize.
also, at the end I forgot to show you how to turn the Internal hotspot OFF. Just go to the Ui's network configuration, select the Hotspot option, and turn it OFF. save the settings and reboot the mixer.
WARNING: Make sure you only turn the internal hotspot OFF when you are sure that the external router is working well..

I had hours trying to connect my Ui12 to a Raspberry (Linux) and only found tutorials that did not help me much. Until I found yours. Thanks a lot. Obrigado.

I am glad it helped..

I tried for days to do this and failed miserably...then I watched your video and BINGO I was in! Thank you so much and may the sound gods always smile upon you my friend.

[@pilot140467]

I am glad it helped. Nice that you have fixed it. Well done.

[@Housemn51]

Nothing I looked at, or read was as clear as your video, and I was hooked up to my router by the time I finished watching this. Thank you soooo much!

[@pilot140467]

Nice that the video helped you. Well done configuring your router and mixer...

[@beave53]

Thank you it was extremely helpful I have not found any other that was better.

[@pilot140467]

Thanks. Glad it helped :)

Wow. I'm more confused now than I was before.

[@thefishnmusician9667]

Is the subnet mask number I enter, from my router or the ui24 when I first configure my router? Thanks for the video

[@pilot140467]

I am not sure I understand what you mean. And the video is about the Ui12 and Ui16. I have no idea how the Ui24 is configured. I don't have one, and I have never worked with one. Sorry about that. :(

[@thefishnmusician9667]

I can see why you create a static ip for the UI however what is the benefit of setting a static ip on a laptop or a tablet?

[@pilot140467]

Hi, Well, It am not an expert, I have followed some tutorials, asked some questions, successfully did it for myself and did the video so what I have learnt could also help others.
But my guess is that in case the Router has trouble assigning an IP to the device, it will always connect if this device already has an IP assigned.

thanks

If router goes south are you saying after rebooting it that it will default to the factory default IP or assigns itself a new IP which means all other devices have to be updated. Wouldn’t it be easier to change routers IP back to the UI’s IP? Or were you defining goes south as the router having to be replaced with a new one?
1). By using the mixer IP if router goes south the only thing you have to do is up date the ui IP on the router? 2). Please clarify when I hook a new router for the first time what I need to do with the default IP. I would have thought I could just change it to ui default ? 3). If router goes south and you used routers default IP instead of UI’s why would you have to update all your laptop, tablet UI IP’s, if all you have to do is ensure the IP was the same as it was before which was the routers factory default. If you could address each question separately much appreciated

[@pilot140467]

The expression "The Router goes South" means that the Router got broken, failed, stopped working for some reason.
Changing the Router's IP to the mixer's default IP is what the video is all about. Did you understand the opposite? :o
1) No, you misunderstood it obviously. If the router is configured to the Mixer's default IP Range (10.10.2.x), then if the router stops working you just need to reset the mixer's network to default to re-enable the internal hotspot. As the router already used the mixer's default IP range, you can even just use the same browser window that is already open on your Tablet, PC, Phone, etc...
Please refer to the Ui mixer manual to learn how to reset the Network to default.
2) Did you watch the video? )I suggest you watch it again :) That is exactly what the video tries to explain. I know I am not very good making videos and expressing myself. Perhaps that is the problem :(
3) Well, you could use the router's default IP Range, but you would still have to reset the mixer's network to enable the internal hotspot. That would delete the router IP from the Mixer settings and would replace them with the mixer's default. That means you would have to configure the browser to the default Ui IP address instead of the default router IP address you were using before.
If this happens in a live show, it is already bad enough to have to reboot the mixer, never mind having to also restart the browser with a new IP address that you might not even remember at the moment. Every second counts. If you were already using the Mixer's default IP Range on the router, and it failed, you don't need to remember anything else, except how to reset the Mixer's network, and in theory you should be up and running in just a couple of minutes.
I hope I managed to answer your questions..

@@pilot140467 yes now I understand where you would use the units internal wifi hotspot if the external router goes down and therefore all the devices would remain with their same Fixed IP

[@pilot140467]

@@thefishnmusician9667 Yeah, this could be a real advantage if we use several devices.
But let's hope that our Routers never "Go South" 😃🤣🤣

@@pilot140467 Just on all that: can we build in redundancy, on the basis that the main connection to the router/UI is via an ipad, say, by hardwiring the laptop with a cat5 cable to another LAN port on the router...? Does that give us a direct connection to the UI, should something happen to the wireless connection of the ipad....

[@pilot140467]

@@stuartdocherty8409 you can connect a Laptop to the router via network cable. Just give a static IP to the laptop in the same range as the router's IP.
For example, imagine that the router's IP address is 10.10.2.100, then you configure the IP range the router can assign to other devices from say 10.10.2.11 to 10.10.2.99
The other IP addresses from 10.10.2.1 to 10.10.2.10 will be reserved for devices with static IP as they are out of the range the router will assign automatically to other devices.
So, your mixer will have a static IP of 10.10.2.1.
Now create a network connection on your Laptop, and assign a static IP of for example 10.10.2.2
Now the Laptop should be able to communicate with the mixer without any conflicts with other devices connected wirelessly with the router.
