If you are hosting locally, your players must have a reliable Wi-Fi connection to your router. If this isn’t the case their device may keep disconnecting from your quiz.

We have successfully tested the Crafty Quiz Mini Router with 30 devices connected in typical pub environment. For this reason, the connection limit in the software is set to 30 by default. Once 30 teams have joined your quiz any further teams who try to join will see a message explaining that the quiz is full.

You can change the connection limit in the settings section of the software, so, if you are struggling to get devices connected due to the conditions in your venue or you just want to host a smaller more intimate quiz you can reduce the number of teams that can take part. Conversely, if you’re wanting to host a large quiz you can increase the connection limit, however we haven’t tested the Crafty Quiz Mini Router with more than 30 devices connected so this would be at your own risk.

Your router’s Wi-Fi signal may be affected by the layout of your venue and obstructions, such as walls blocking the signal. You can limit any possible issues by following these tips:

• Connect your router to your computer with an Ethernet cable as this is more reliable than Wi-Fi.
• Position your router above head height, in the middle of your teams ideally with nothing blocking the signal e.g. walls.
• If possible, plug the router in to the mains using a good quality USB power adaptor to boost the signal as much as possible.
• Find the least congested Wi-Fi channel in your venue and check your router is using this channel.
• Only use Wi-Fi extenders if absolutely necessary as they can reduce the performance of your Master Router
