I read this was a setting and see it in the program. Can someone tell me what the benefits are to enabling this? Thanks

    "This provides the best possible connection to Proclaim, and the most reliable way to control Proclaim remotely from a sound booth or from the stage."

    With the local WiFi option, signals from the remote are picked up by the controlling Proclaim app over the local WiFi as opposed to needing to go out into the Internet and back - this provides a master and more reliable connection.

    to consider: our previous WIFI router was provided by our ISP and when the Internet connection blinked, we also lost interconnectivity with a machines on the local network. With our current Router, local machines stay connected even if the bridge to the outside world gets interrupted. Having access to the web before service permits syncing and updating of the presentation, but when it goes live I can control locally, even if the web traffic gets bogged down.
