Bumping my own old thread here. The solution provided by danco worked perfectly. I could force the Squeezebox to connect to the WDS Slave router which provided a much better signal than the WDS Master router.
This weekend however, I moved some stuff around in the house. One of the changes is that the WDS Master router and the Squeezeserver machine are now in a different room which is now much closer to the Squeezebox. As a result it now made more sense to force the Squeezebox to connect to the Master router especially since that router has a wired connecting to the Squeezebox server. For some reason the MAC Filter solution now no longer works properly. Both routers now provide about the same signal strength. For some reason however, at some point the Squeezebox still thinks it would be better to connect to the WDS Slave (provided it was already connected to the WDS Master to begin with). When that happens, the Squeezebox display shows that it is trying to connect and get an IP address. However, due to the MAC Filter, this fails and the Squeezebox will turn blank. When I then unplug (power off) the WDS Slave router, the Squeezebox again goes finding a router and then finds the WDS Master again where it is able to connect and then function properly. I could then plug in the WDS Slave again, but after a day or so, I would notice that the Squeezebox display is blank again. I now temporarily added the Squeezebox's MAC address to the WDS Slave such that it gets a free choice. However, would still like to know how I can force the Squeezebox to connect to the WDS Master to avoid consuming double wireless bandwidth (SB->Slave & Slave->Master). -- Squid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Squid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62151 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
