My FPP#1 has two IP addresses. 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.3.112. The 112 address is on the house wireless network and I can sign in to the FPP#1 normally using the 112 address. I am using Nutcracker to program. presently the Nutcracker universes are set to multicast. I think I would like to set up the FPP output universes to unicast and use the 192.168.0.10 as the output IP address. I suspect however that the show traffic will load down my local wireless network. Any opinions on how to set up the FPP universes would be helpful so that I can control the FPP#1 from my wireless computer and run the show on the 192.168.0.10 IP address
Also, I am using a second (FPP#2) in bridge mode to increase the number of show channels. Does it need a separate IP address or does it just act as the FPP#1 expander?


Thanks.

Your best option is to plug your Ethernet port on the Pi into a switch and connect your controllers to that switch. Do not connect the switch to your local wireless network.

You can still use your wireless to connect to the Pi to setup the shows and make live changes as needed.

I hear that there is going to be an option on the Universe configuration page to direct the E1.31 traffic to a specific network interface. today it chooses the default which is likely to be the wireless interface as it contains a default gateway setting.
