This article is for anyone who wants to purchase a dedicated router for their Smartsuit Pro II.
Most standard Wi-Fi routers that are compatible with either 2.4GHz or 5GHz should work with the Smartsuit Pro (I and II). Performance on a 2.4GHz network (particularly if using Smartgloves) can be unreliable.
Rokoko can provide a dedicated 5GHz router that has been tried, tested, and established as the optimal option when working with Rokoko equipment. You can read more about this here.
If you see that your existing router does not meet your needs, and you do not wish to use Rokoko's main recommendation, please consider the following options.
Important
- Some Internet Service Providers' (ISP) routers like Sky, Telus, Verizon, Bell and AT&T are not supported by Rokoko Studio and thus, you won't be able to connect your Rokoko hardware to those.
- If you are using a router that has AX wifi technology, please make sure it's set up in a mode that includes n and ac wifi technologies as well. You should see an option similar to this enabled: Wifi mode: b/n/ac/ax mixed. WiFi with only AX mode will not work.
- Please note that some expensive and state of the art routers such as an Asus GTAX6000, will not work with the Smartsuit Pro.
In the following list, we've included options for every budget.
ASUS
TP-Link
NETGEAR
Please note that the Smartsuit Pro can only be assigned an IPv4 IP address (e.g. 172.168.1.245) and does not currently support IPv6 IP addresses (e.g.2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
