How do you select mic/line Hi-z inputs? I played with the 18T at my local dealer and could not find these settings in the menus.
The XLR inputs on channels 1-8 and XLR-1/4" inputs on channels 9-16 can be used for mic- or line-level input on the Allen & Heath CQ-18T Compact 18-Channel Digital Mixer with Touchscreen, but DI is required for Hi-Z input (instruments like a guitar and bass). Only the CQ-20T has Hi-Z inputs on channels 15-16.

Since the 18T offers its own wifi, does it provide dhcp? That is, could it become the network hub for a portable production?
Yes, both the CQ18T and CQ20B's built in wifi will generate an IP address for any paired devices. Your tablet will see a network with CQ18 in the title. Join this network as you would any other network. A password for the network can be added from the CQ. You can have the network run with DHCP or with static IP addresses. It will also run across 11 channels in 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ
