If a facility has multiple bays, you can choose between the following setups:
- Individual routers per bay
- USB Ethernet Adapter
- Optimal Wired Setup
- One main Wi-Fi connection (which this article covers)
One Main Wi-Fi Connection
This setup connects each bay’s radar and peripherals directly to the PC via wired connections, while the PC itself connects to the internet through a shared Wi-Fi network. While convenient in some environments, this configuration is not recommended due to performance limitations.
- Radar, cameras, and other peripherals are wired to the PC.
- The PC connects to the main router via Wi-Fi.
- All bays share the same wireless network for internet access.
Multi-bay simulator setup with radar units and smartphones connected to PCs, which in turn connect wirelessly to a central router using a single Wi-Fi network.
Advantages
- Useful in temporary or mobile setups
- Can be a fallback when Ethernet cabling is not feasible
- Simplifies installation in spaces with limited infrastructure
Limitations
- Slower download speeds for software and course updates
- Reduced stability in cloud-connected features
- Higher risk of interruptions during online sessions
- Not suitable for high-traffic or commercial environments
