- Note: make sure that your Mac and iDevice are connected in the same local network.

The GripTools iXplorer makes use of Wi-Fi for the wireless connection. Using Wi-Fi is generally OK, but can cause hiccups in a real-time application. When using a connection via a common wireless router in a school, an office, or at home, you might be sharing the network with other people. Wi-Fi is also very sensitive to walls, especially those with iron in it (concrete).

The most optimized connection:
Use a separate, dedicated Wi-Fi router.

In our experience this works great, without any hiccups and even better than an ad-hoc WiFi connection. Just use an extra (high speed wireless-N) Wi-Fi router as a kind of network amplifier. You don't need to connect anything to the Router.

1. Put the router approximately between your computer and your iDevice.
2. Connect the power supply to the router (no other cables involved).
3. Connect both your workstation and the iDevice to the Routers network.

Now you can launch CINEMA 4D and GripTools iXplorer on the iPhone, and let it connect the usual way (check if the signal strength is max).
Tip: You may want to switch of the hard disk indexing service of your workstation. This hasn't got anything to do with Wi-Fi, but it stops interfering with other tasks. On OSX: System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy -> Add your Macintosh HD to the list.
