After a million of weird videos, this one finally helped! Thank you so much!! ❤

[@ruidanin_rocker]

Finally!!!
After a long battle with my router settings and network settings that tip about NOT connecting the router cable to the ethernet port 2 was gold!
Sometimes we are so in a hurry to get things done that we miss something in the chain!
Great video/tip!
Thanx a lot!!! 👌

Thanks 👍😎

Hi. Have you ever heard of DHCP IP reservation or static lease?

[@Djdadd]

Do you recommend disabling the UI’s internal hotspot?

[@jobaecker9752]

Clarify - if I'm setup this way (to an external router), is the wi-fi hotspot completely disabled, or does it default back to the hotspot whenever my router connection is unplugged?

[@FVDaudio]

In my experience, I have ended up disabling it. I have stayed with the external router on duty that they have for the event, concert, etc.

My ui24 won't boot, it keeps on blinking green light. Please help how to fix it

[@edencartwright1573]

I have a question that no one asks about the ui24. What’s the reason for the 2nd Ethernet port? Is it POE capable? Just asking because if that had that capability you could power IEM units which would greatly lighten and clean rig building

[@KevinIlsen]

I believe this is answered towards the end of the video (at about 7:40). That second port is currently only used with the "Cascade" feature -- i.e., connecting a second Ui24R.

[@andrewgolba9471]

@@KevinIlsen So can you connect two Ui24r together???? Thank you Andrew

[@KevinIlsen]

@@andrewgolba9471 yes, that’s the Cascade feature. There are videos online about it.

[@AkioHarris]

I followed the instructions for connecting the external router (TP-Link). I'm able to access the UI16 control board using the IP address assigned but any adjustments I try causes a "Locked" error to flash. I'm not able to control the mixer now. Any suggestions?

This video shows why the mixer would possibly show "locked". See if this helps you!

[@AkioHarris]

@@djpak Thanks. I'll try this

[@malcgarda5042]

Help... when I navigate to settings/network tab...... try to press 'config'... it blinks but nothing happens- no login box appears waaaaa! Just blinks... Help

[@madmark458]
