When should WiFi be used in relation to Dante traffic?

Using WiFi only for control data in relation to Dante traffic is the most suitable approach due to the demands of audio and video transmission. Dante is designed for high-performance, low-latency audio over Ethernet networks, which requires a reliable and stable connection. Wired Ethernet connections provide the necessary bandwidth and stability that audio and video streams require, especially in professional environments where timing and synchronization are critical.

WiFi, on the other hand, can be subject to interference, fluctuations in signal strength, and variable latency, which can negatively affect the quality of audio transmission. Therefore, utilizing WiFi primarily for control data ensures that essential management tasks can be performed without risking the integrity of the audio streams. This separation helps maintain a smooth operation of the Dante network while minimizing potential disruptions that could arise from using WiFi for audio transport.
