   [Venue Wi-Fi]
    ├── Staff phones (Admin URL)
    ├── Lobby TV (Board URL)
    └── Player phones (Player URL)

Rules

  • Player phones and TV must use venue Wi-Fi, not mobile data.
  • Avoid guest Wi-Fi isolation that blocks devices from reaching the venue PC.
  • Mesh systems are fine if everyone can still reach that computer.
  • URLs use the PC’s LAN IP from Settings → Venue Wi-Fi (example: http://192.168.1.50:4781/board).
  • QR codes for check-in point to the Player URL on the same network.
  • Open the Board URL in a real browser fullscreen on the lobby monitor.
