This thread was quiet, now suddenly I see a lot of answers, all of them very useful. Thank you all !
Actually I use the morph to raise the volume of the rig when needed, but it's true, on a gig you don't know what the audience hears.
But as said the morph is a very useful feature to change sounds of a performance.

Configuring the TL-WR802N as an Acess point was very easy and the connection with the iPad worked immediatelly.
I then had to do some research as the connection to the iPad and the remote broke repeatedly.
it was the "lease renewal" in the DHCP settings of one minute. i changed to Static IP and increased the interval to maximum.
Now it works perfect.
Hi wrbi,
I have the same problem with the VONETS router, the connection broke very often on my Ipad or android tablet.
You mentioned that you have changed the DHCP lease renewal to one minute, and changed to Static IP. Is this a setting of the TP-Link TL-WR802N Router, does it have a Web Interface for configuring it?
Thank you!

I've always used the Rig Volume knob on the front to adjust the volumes of each of my rigs to make sure they're the same level. I just noticed in the manual that it says it's best to NOT use the Rig Volume for this purpose and to use the Amp Volume parameter instead. Can anyone explain why? I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to go through all my rigs and set the rig volume back to zero and adjust them using Amp Volume, but I'm not sure what the advantage would be. Also, if I were to do this, are these 2 volumes 1:1? Meaning, if I turn the Rig Volume down by 1.5, I can then just turn the Amp Volume up by 1.5 and it'll get the rig back to the same volume?
I apply the same method to set the volume level between performances or rigs.
In order to boost the signal level for a solo, or when the guitar is in the mix too low, the reccomandation ( from a Thomas Dill video ) was to use a ... guess what? .. booster efect or a compressor with a higher volume, or the amp volume rather than raising the rig Volume. You can use the morph for achieving that.
Previously I used the morph and raised the Rig Volume ( and eventually the gain ) for the solos, but I think it is better to leave the rig volume unchanged during a song. It seems the sound engineers don't like when you raise it. 
Anyhow this was not what you asked for, I just gave my too bits here.
Mine was just rebooting all the time and never stayed online... (unpowered Rack). Maybe i will give it a try next time the Editor will be updated. But thank you anyway!
Got the same problem, and posted it on another thread.
Display MoreMy solution at home is the follwing:
I have a Poe Switch (TP-Link TL-SG1008P 8 Port PoE Switch) connected to my Fr!tzBox Router by Ethernet cable.
I use this to connect also other computers to my network. The Kemper ( toaster) and the remote are connected to this switch with CAT 6 cables.
The remote is connected of course to one of the PoE sockets of the switch.
Without any changes on my router configuration, the Kemper sees the remote ( they are in the same network ) and the Ipad and/or Android( tablet/phone) Rig Manager apps connect to my Kemper with no problems.
Gig/rehearsal - no Wifi solution - I have used the proposed solution from the video linked above.
The devices reccomended in the video (TP-Link TL-SG 0005P and Vonets VAP11G-300) go all at the bottom of my pedalboard where the Kemper remote and other pedals are mounted.
Because no Wifi available, the Switch will work as dhcp router and give addresses in the range 169.254.nnn.nnn to it's LAN. At least this is what I have seen it happens on my network when I disconnect the main router.
The Vonets will bring up a Wireless network working as a bridge and the IPad/Android device(s) will join the same network. ( 169.254.nnn.nnn)
Rig Manager detects my Kemper.
When I turn back home all I have to do is connect the switch on the pedalboard with my home network switch using a CAT 6 cable and then the Ipad and Kemper will all be in my home network and can also access Ethernet on the Ipad. The only disadvantage is I will have to power on the 5 port PoE Switch and the Vonets on the pedalboard even when I am at home.
Otherwise at home I need to connect the kemper and remote to my home network switch and do not use the 5 port switch and the Vonets on the pedalboard.
After several tests using the hardware mentioned above, I noticed the following:
1. Gig situation -
1.1 At home when I simulate the gig situatiuon and connect the Ipad to the Kemper (toaster) and to the remote pedal using the VONETS Wifi ( Vonets Wifi Bridge and TP-Link PoE switch ), it works at the beginning, but my Ipad tries always to connect to the other wifi in my network where Internet is available. I think this causes some glitches and therefoe the Rig Manager app looses very frequently the connection to the Profiler. Same issue on Android ( tablet or phone )
1.2 I also noticed that the remote, from time to time switches off, and reconnects after 1-20 seconds to the profiler. This makes the usage of an Ipad(Android tablet) not very reliable. Specially when I try to switch to another performance on the tablet, the connection gets lost.
2. Home - kemper and Remote cvonnected to the same PoE switch in order to use the Ipad.
When connected to the Home Network, Remote and Kemper attached to a switch connected to my home router and the Ipad connects to the same Router via Wifi , the Ipad Rig Manager app is stable, but as noticed on Point 2 the remote switches itself off ( screen bekomes gray ) from time to time and reconnects than again.
3. When Remote is connected directly to the Kemper everthing works fine.
Maybe I should test the "Gig situation no Wifi" in my garage where no other known Wi-Fi connectzions with Internet are available, or switch the main router off.
IMHO the problems above together with the fact that switching to another performance or rig is very annoying on the Ipad, because a Listbox is not available makes this solution quite unreliable.
Anyhow the fact that the Kemper, on the older models, still makes this possiblr is something to be appreciated.

The manual is not 100% clear so I will try to summarise my findings so far and what I have seen on this forum. I will also attempt to make it as simple as possible for those of us who are not that technically minded.
The Kemper needs to be connected to a device called a 'router' which is wifi enabled. This wifi router also needs to be able to function as an 'access point' if you want to run it stand-alone (at a gig) without another network (e.g. your home wifi network). As the manual says, this router needs to be connected via the ethernet socket on the back of the kemper. (easily bought on amazon, but see below)
The remote also needs to be connected to that socket so you have to connect the wire from the remote to a socket on the router. However, (and this is important), the remote needs to be powered. It receives its power from the kemper through the ethernet socket normally so you have to find a way to add power to the cable that goes to the remote. This can be done via a POE (power over ethernet) injector (easily bought on amazon).
So, if you do it like this you will have 2 boxes (one router and one poe injector) which both need a power supply plugged in somewhere. You will then need a short cable to go from kemper to router, then another cable from router to poe injector and then a long cable from poe injector to the remote.
If you are like me then you will want to reduce the number of cables and power supplies that you have to lug around and this is where it gets interesting.
There are such things as routers that are powered by POE, so that has the potential to lose one power supply (because the router doesn't need a power supply if it's powered from the kemper from the ethernet cable). Many of these routers are designed for home networking where things are wired into small spaces so they are probably small enough to go in the back of the kemper.
There are also routers which will do POE 'pass through'. In other words it will take the power coming in from the kemper and then pass it on to the cable going out to the remote. The first issue is that the router needs 2 ethernet sockets. Many small wifi routers powered by POE do not, but a small number do.
However, then we get into the issues of how much power and how is it delivered. In this case, there are multiple standards of how this is done (802.3af, etc.) and
I have not seen confirmation from kemper on what standard we need to follow (it says 'mode a' in the manual, but this is not quite enough information I believe).Supported are IEEE standard 802.3af-2003 as well as 802.3at-2009 mode A. There is also a lack of documentation from router companies about the detail of what they need coming and out of their power supplies.
In a perfect world, we could find a device which will be powered over POE and will pass-through POE to the remote. If this was the case, then legacy owners could buy one box, with no power supply and tuck it into the back of the kemper and have it all in one with no additional power supplies etc.
So coming back to the point of this thread. Please post the products (preferably with a web link) that you have found that we can try or research to be able to achieve this goal. I will shortly add some that I have found. Please don't clutter up the thread with comments such as 'I'm confused' or 'why not android' etc. those comments can go in plenty of other threads.

Display MoreHi guys, some help pls.
Since I can barely read the remote's small screen during live, I'd like to add my spare iPad mini to my pedal board as a display (mount to the nearby microphone holder).
I know there's a wireless solution that works fine, but I'm a little worried that wireless during the live performance does not so staple. I did some research, seems like a wired router should do the trick.

The problem is, the routers I've found (Ubiquiti ER-X, Mikrotik hEX Lite) are relatively big and require an additional power adapter, they couldn't fit in my board. I would like to replace the router with an ethernet switch, I've found a 3 port switch is much smaller and can be powered by USB.
I don't know if this could work, since Rig Manager(iOS) seems to use TCP protocol to communicate with the Kemper, they should need a DHCP Server(The router) to assign proper IP addresses, and a Layer 2 switch just can't do that.
But I've read in the manual that you can connect multiple Remotes to one profiler via a switch or hub, how did this work? did they have some IP address negotiation mechanism?
Any thoughts could be helpful, thanks guys~
When the switch does not get an IP Address from a router at any of his sockets, it will generate "dummy" IP Adresses in the range 169.254.nnn.nnn for the devices connected to it. So in this case the switch will work as a dhcp router. At least this is what is happening on my network where I use a TP-Link TL-SG1008P 8 Port PoE Switch. This should also appl.y to the smaller 5 port unit.
The Kemper will connect to the remote in this case. Anyhow no IPad will connect to this network unless you use a Wifi bridge. You can connect the Ipad via Ethernet cable to the switch ( you'll need an USB-C hub with Wthernet port for this) so it's not really nice, but you don't need the Wifi. This should work , but I have not tested it.
It would be nice when the Mikrotik router suggested would also have a Wifi.
Thanks for the idea, I'll give it a try.
Hi, I have the same question. did it worked for you? Have you used a single delay or some of the latest models, dual, quad...?
I have tried with the single delay but it was not what I expected.
Unless they ask for it, sending a hotter signal to FOH will piss off the person behind the desk. Just like turning the real amp up - it screws up other things.
If you want your guitar to stick out - a better option would be to have a midrange booster of some type handy. Or, morph the midrange/presence/EQ curve to bring the sound forward.
Turning up the volume (usually) isn’t the best answer.
Thank you!
A feature similar to what I had on the BOSS multiefffect GT-100 would be nice to have on the Kemper. The possibility to increase/decrease the output volume by +/-10% by klicking on a button.
This was useful when someone asks "Guitar louder!!!" and you don't have free hands to rotate some knobs and the mixer guy is not reactive.
There are two buttons on the remote I never use, the tuner and the looper. I could use these two for this or better let the user customise according to their wishes.
The amount of increase 3%, 5%, 10% can be also configurable for each rig.
If the build number is the same e.g. "42312", the only difference is the label "release" instead of "beta".
Thank you for specifying this. The release notes said it fixes lost of signal in performance mode while changing slots. Exactly my problem. So it seems the fix is not yet complete. This is scary because the reboot takes 90 seconds so if this happennes during a live gig it's not a nice thing.
Maybe I should return to a previous stable OS version. That would be the 8.7.10?
The official version 8.7.15.42312 claims to have fixed this issue. I had the same problem with the 8.7.15.42312B beta version.
Can't say it it was fixed but I hope so. Last time it happenned after 2 hours of playing.
The problem appeared once again now with the Beta 8.7.15.42312B. After 2 hours of playing there was no sound anymore. The input leds were frozen. Switching to Rig Mode or Tuner than back to Performance Mode did not help. The toaster display did not react. Only a reboot helped.
Unfortunately the reboot takes 1,5 minutes.
There is an official OS 8.7.15.42312 that seems to fix this problem in the beta. Anyhow this is the second time it happens to me with two different beta versions.
Display MoreI got the same problem this evening during rehearsal with our band for a gig planned for tomorrow.
We were playing since 30 minutes, no problem, I switched guitar, everything was still Ok, than suddenly the sound was gone!
The tuner was not activated by pressing the wrong remote button, the pedal volume was not on 0, Volume guitar knob was on 10. Switched cable and still no sound. No DAW involved. I go from the main outputs to the mixer, nobody moved any fader on the mixer the rest of the band was still to hear. I play in performance mode with morphing. Three Pedals attached to the remote, volume, wah and morphing.
Rebooted the Kemper than everything was again normal. As rebooting take ca. 2-3 with the remote connected, it is not something we would like to do tomorrow during our gig. No explanation found for the phenomena.
I have upgraded the OS yesterday to the latest version available:Profiler_OS_8_7_11_40908.
I have a Toaster with power unit, the cabinet was not engaged and the monitor sound was off.
Any hints? Can the latest OS be the problem?
I don't have time to buy a backup Kemper unit till tomorrow.
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hey everyone, I am not sure what I've done wrong, but there is no input going into the kemper, i have tried the cable and guitar on another amp and both work perfect. The kemper was working fine before but isn't now. When i go to tuner there is no signal and no notes show up and when i go to browser there is no sound at all
can anyone please help ? I am not sure what I am doing wrong, thanks!

It seems that the morphing parameters are stored in Blob columns in the repositoryR2.db rig database files. So a SQL based - ON YOUR OWN RISK - solution altering the database files seem not possible.
Hallo Kemper Forum! Ist es möglich, beim Remote die Taste die mit Morphing belegt ist, die Funktion einfach umdrehen? A zu B und B nach A schieben. So das ich nicht nochmal neu programmieren muss? Danke und Gruß Markus
Here the images of my Remote pedalboard. I needed a wider width for 3 Pedals and the remote.
After looking for various solutions I finally I took the Thomann Harley Benton SpaceShip 80 boards, cut away about 10cm out of it to fit the length of the volume pedals.
With the rest I got a 80X12 cm pedalboard that will go to Ebay soon
On the left and right side I attached some handles to carry it on easier.
It was difficult to attach the Velcro on the Mission pedals. I used the Thomann Harley Benton SpaceShip Wah Fastener and a visit to to a shop selling all kind if screws helped me to fix those to the pedals and the pedals on the board.
See some pictures below.

That was what I tried first but for whatever reason the fields seemed to me as read-only. I should have clicked on them.
Should have read the manuals first ( RTFM), I'm sure it is written somewhere.
Hi,
I would like to set a tag for all rigs of a folder in my Local Library. For instance set the Comment to a string I choose for all rigs in my XXX folder.
Is this possible using the RIG Manager? I could not find something like this.
I can export the tags to CSV files but not import tags from a CSV file.
Otherwise Excel would have helped me there.
Thank you in advance .
