NETGEAR WAX610 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Access Point
Hi. I want to create a local network that allows my devices to communicate directly with each other without having an internet connection. This way, I can use a master/slave app during band rehearsa...
All a little bit vague. Please don't forget many devices on your wierelss might require valid LAN IP Subnet addresses, eg. a DHCP server (as typically avilable on a router).
Unless you can operate a pure Dante network for your gigs, where most (but unfortunately not all) can communicate on a ZeroConf network - so automatic addressing is granted. For e.g. a mobile phione or tablet, you ideally deploy a DHCP server.
Audinate (the makers of Dante) does suggest on un-managed networks using either ZeroConfig or DHCP to reach all devices on a single LAN and subnet.
Most Android devices or even iPhones and iPad (I assume) are also supporting Zeroconfig addressing.
At the end of the day, it depends on what magic an unspoecified App ... where master slave is more a term in AV when multiple networks are involved.
Reegards,

Hey Kurt -
Right now, an iPhone acting as a hotspot works perfectly. I was hoping that I could set up a wireless access point to do essentially the same thing - allow an iPad app that requires no internet connectivity to communicate with each other.
On the app, you can put one iPad in master mode, and the others in slave mode so that when you turn the page on the master iPad setlist app, it turns the pages on all of the slave devices.
I thought I could set up the wireless access point to do something similar. No?
