Oct 11, 2015 8:23 AM in response to karenthekakby Gary Scotland,The advice from Apple is correct and uptodate.
The list of problems associated with WiFi in a non-home environment are all associated with unrealistic expectations from signal strength:
router placed further than the maximum operating distance away from iPads
transmitting through a wall or floor
the building uses steel girders in construction
a large amount of electrical cabling, (the lighting rig) causing interference
In large performance arenas and conference venues, we only connect computers using cabled connections, it is a much more reliable and stronger signal, reaching distances in hundreds of feet, not a few dozen feet as with WiFi
when WiFi is used, the transmitter is our own system that we have complete control over, it placed in line of sight of the iPads and only a few feet away, behind flats on stage or in the wings.
