Wireless Network Question

edited June 2013 in Hog 4 OS Software Discussion
Again, I just got a Hog4 Love it,
Hog4 1.2.540b
But I want to set up a wireless network, I got two kicking Mac Pro's but they don't seem to do that grate on Hog4 PC so I found a fairly cool HP laptop on E,bay and I plan to run Light Converse and Hog4pc on it + OSC iPad.

So can anyone recommend and wireless router I have an Apple Airport Express
in my house and I was wondering about getting another one for the Hog4
What do you think ? you network boffins.

    I'm in Los Angeles…


    Line loss… if I have to run more than 75m(246') of cat5 cable, I drop a switch (Router) to boost the signal just like an Opto splitter is with DMX…
    Now the wireless routers it to network several a larger area of locations to the same network, so you can walk around with you tablet and remote focus all locations on your show…
    Make sense?

    No Mike,
    That how I thought to do it originally…
    It's a wired setup from Wireless router to Wireless router, how ever they automatically configure which to get the signal from when you walk around…
    You need to setup as "Create new network" on all of them and put in the exact same network name etc.
    I can send you a detailed description if you ever end up doing this setup…

    Morty,
    With all the wireless routers, does your tablet have to re-login to the Hog? I've previously had the message "Lost show server..." when it switches routers, but I had them as different names. So had to re-login to the show.
