IPad – Remote app on iPad regularly loses connection to Mac

ipaditunesmac-miniremote.app

I'm using a Mac mini with an external 3TB hard drive to run my audio system.
I'm controlling iTunes on the Mac mini using Apple's Remote app on my iPad.

My problem is that Remote seems to lose the connection with the Mac repeatedly,
so in turn I lose the ability to control my music. Sometimes it's just slow and the message reads it's connecting with the shared file, then it finds it, other time it tells me it can't find it at all. The Mac is set to not sleep. What can I do to keep the connection between my Mac and the Remote app on my iPad?

  • Try the usual 'turn it off and on again' things first.
  • Turn on "Stay Connected" in the Remote app's setting enter image description here
  • Try switching your wireless channel, frequency, or both.
