I’ve followed the instructions several times. My ipad will connect to the wifi on the CQ18T, but when I open the CQ Mixpad app on the ipad it will not ‘see’ the CQ 18T or connect to it using the IP address. (The CQ 4You app will connect properly, so the problem seems to be with the Mixpad app).
On the iPad:
In the iPad settings, go to Privacy and Security → Local Network - is the CQMixPad app toggled to allow/on?
This is really very important - after an Update on my MacBook Air everybody of the band members can connect to my CQ20B, I also with my iPad, but not with my MBA.
Going to Privacy and Security → Local Network - CQMixPad app toggled to allow make everything work again.
I am only recently a forced Apple user due to getting the dLive, and I couldn’t fathom why on earth that setting even had to exist. No issues like that with Android versions of apps that I have found as of yet, but Apple? Nope. Got to hide crap you need and make it difficult.
