Waves WRC-1 V2 WiFi Stage Router

To serve the unique needs of live sound engineers, stage productions, and other live audio and AV environments, the WRC-1’s many benefits go beyond standard routers: rack-mountable design, rugged industrial build, and stronger RF distribution for secure, dependable communications.

Whether used for on-stage monitor mix control, DLNA playback, the Waves MyMon personal monitor mixing app, or other audio setups, the WRC-1 delivers steady, robust Wi-Fi connectivity.

WRC-1 includes router management software to quickly set the WiFi password and configure network settings such as the system IP address. These features are the most common changes needed by customers and are fully supported by Waves.

An advanced set of router configuration features is accessible by installing an advanced firmware package on the WRC-1. The advanced features include router capabilities such as QoS and NAT settings, advanced firewall settings, guest Wi-Fi settings, and other features that are not typically required in live sound installations. Please note that Waves provides this advanced firmware for you install, but does not offer official support for the advanced firmware.
