Stage to sound-desk connection

Hi guys - newbie here, so forgive basic questions. I want to connect 3 MIDI keyboards on stage to a Windows PC running Ableton LIVE located about 70 metres away. I plan to use a mioXM and a router on stage feeding along a single CAT6 cable to another mioXM at the PC. Will this work? Do I need BOTH XM's or can I run the ethernet cable into a a USB port via a dongle? Do I need to run rtpmidi? Do I need anything else? Does anybody have any useful links or tutorials about this? Thanks for any help. Pete

You can use just a single mioXM in your setup.
The CAT6 can go directly to your Windows PC (ethernet port)
You will need rtpMIDI and Auracle X for the initial setup after that it does need to left open.
Use method 2 in this video below to learn how to connect RTP Ports.
Connect 1 RTP ports for each controller you want to connect.

Thanks for response tsho08. I have purchased a mioXM but can't make it work as per video. I note that the Firmware is version 1.0.0. Might this be the problem? The Firmware update button doesn't work so I don't know how to update the firmware. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Pete.

Download Auracle X 1.8.8 - previous versions weren't working for updating firmware.
