Thank you for your question. If you’re just having a conversation or taking turns playing individually, then yes, you can use FarPlay with Wi-Fi, and you should get audio quality and latency that are substantially better than with Zoom.
If you’re making rhythmic music in sync together, Ethernet is strongly recommended. An Ethernet cable https://a.co/d/bRZfNwR can be up to 300 feet long without signal degradation. You can roll the cable out just for a session and roll it back up afterward. For PCs that don’t have Ethernet ports, use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter (for USB-C https://a.co/d/9NEjhUM or USB-A https://a.co/d/gZmhnvj).
There are ways to use Wi-Fi for rhythmic music making, but they’re typically less convenient, less reliable, and potentially expensive. If you could share the following information, I could give you instructions:
- Make and model of router
- Make and model of PC
- Do you live in an area with a lot of neighbors (examples: apartment/condo, suburban development) or are your neighbors far away (example: rural)?
Thank you,

Hi Jean Francois, FarPlay currently doesn’t support smartphones. We support Mac, Windows, and Linux. Our requirements are at https://farplay.io/requirements.
Thank you,
