Cheap Wireless DMX Tx/Rx?

[Zephrant]

I'm getting tired of running long DMX cables out to the front light stands. In smaller venues I've dropped to one stand with four static lights on it, using it only to light up the band.

But I've got some new centerpiece lights coming, so need to go back to DMX control on them. I'm considering the WiFi DMX adapters, anyone get any recently that work?

Amazon mostly has Donner units, but I see tons of different ones available on Ebay.

I'd like to go with one Tx and three Rx- One for each pole out front, and one for the truss. Not looking to dump a lot of money in to it of course, as I mostly have the cables already. It's just a time saver for setup/teardown mostly. I'd like to pre-wire the truss and poles with power/DMX daisy-chains, and just pack them in and plug them in to power.

I have the Donner ones with batteries in the receivers. They work about as well as I expected them to. I've had one or the other black out for a few seconds in particularly busy Wi-Fi environments. I don't think I'd like to run all of my lights off of a single receiver and have everything go black! The batteries do run for several hours and add a bit more convenience. I'm not blown away by the build quality and I need to have a toothpick handy to turn them on and off. And oh by the way, the chargers that came with the receivers won't charge them, however the charger that came with the transmitter will.
