Is it possible to connect MyDMX GO device to a custom WiFI network (access point) to provide the iPad used for controlling the MyDMX GO with an active internet connection at the same time?
If yes, then how can it be done?

Yes, it is called Station mode in the hardware manager.
Watch this video and go to the 5:25sec mark and it should start shortly after.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Had to connect the MyDMX GO device with USB to my computer, to be able to see this – didn´t think about that before.
After that it worked like a charm.
Glad to hear it, have fun!
The connection to my wifi only works for me when MyDMX Go is connected to the ntebook. Not otherwise. What am I doing wrong?
- I will connect via USB to the HW manager
- I will set WiFi mode "Station"
- I'll connect to my wifi.
- I disconnect from USB and plug into the USB power adapter
- I'll wait 20 sec.
- But it won't connect to my wifi now.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.

Hi, Try Dual mode and see if that helps.
I will try that. I have noticed when MyDMXGO dongle is right by the Wi-Fi router that I want to connect to it shows only 1 bar of signal. I have the antenna plugged into the dongle so I am just Curious why it is showing such a weak signal even though the DMX dongle is literally 2 feet away from the router?
Hi,
Dual mode = the same problem.
When I connect MyDMXGO to my laptop and to my wifi, the signal is 4 bar. I do not change the position of the HW, I just disconnect it from the laptop and connect it to the supplied USB power supply. The distance HW to the access point is about 1 feet.
Leave it plugged into the computer, just close Hardware manager, after that it's just USB power. Are you using the included USB power adapter?
I'll try.
I use the included USB power adapter.
I am trying to accomplish this same set-up configuration. My stage is very crowded with 2.4GHz signals and I get dropout when using myDMX GO directly connected to the MDG interface WIFI.
I was also able to get the interface to work in Station mode by setting the router WIFI network password using Hardware Manager, but the interface does not retain the router network password after a power cycle. It does work as a Station and connects to both myDMX GO and Light Rider if I do as you described; close the Hardware Manager and do not disconnect the interface from the computer to keep the interface powered. If I disconnect it and try to use the supplied power adapter, it does not connect to the router WIFI. I confirmed the password is not saved by reconnecting the interface to the Hardware Manager and checking the Station page, where I need to re-enter the password.
Is there any way to get the myDMX GO interface to store the WIFI router network password without having to bring a computer to each show just to set a password and supply power to the interface? Or maybe I need to enter specific IP addressing information on the Station page of the Hardware Manager?
Thanks!
