Using the scoreboard over WiFi is troublesome enough (due to unreliable WiFi) that there probably should be a warning on the index page, and maybe a wiki page going into more detail.

    Could you explain the issues you are having in more depth? Are you having trouble connecting to a local computer hosting the scoreboard page? Does it connect at all? What is wrong if it does connect? What elements are slow for you?

    Thanks!

    Yes, WiFi can be unreliable.
    However, there is a lot that can be done to help.
    Just to mention a few things:
    1) Make as little traffic as possible. Use a dedicated wifi net and use channels that are not in use by others
    2) Place the access point high. Don't hide it behind cables and other stuff.
    3) Use quality hardware. I highly recommend Ubiquiti's UniFi Long Range AP.

    With some decent gear and proper configuration, a significant number of machines and even FullHD live streaming is possible using WiFi.
