This is optional right? I assume it's for giving a direct connection between the host laptop and the router?

I just personally like having a hardwire vs a wifi connection from a reliability / performance standpoint. It also allows for the wired NIC to be used for the game, and your wireless NIC can also connect to the conference wifi so you can show webpages like openliberty.io, liberty bikes github, etc.

agreed that it's nice to have, but we should still list it as optional, so people don't think it's a requirement to run the demo

4. Up to 4 mobile devices (one for each player)


# Router setup (linksys)

I don't think most people running this at a conf would be able to follow these steps -- it seems like pretty advanced stuff. When I did this at EclipseCon, we didn't have to mess around with network config at all really. We just connected everything up to the wifi network and used hardcoded IP addresses. Maybe instead we can explain how to check the frontend service's logs to determine what IP the endpoint is available at?

I will play around next week with a setup similar to yours and see if I can simplify.
