A little early indeed: it's just died several times in the past few minutes. Once whilst playing a WMA track, it just turned off; and refused to connect to the network again until I pulled the plug out (of the SB3), at which point suddenly all was OK. Now, why would this fix a problem with the wireless network? I find it hard to imagine how my laptop could be working perfectly, and reporting an Excellent signal, yet the SB3 couldn't even connect to the network. That's not a bandwidth problem, I'm fairly sure. So what is it? I am NOT going to put up with with this much more! If this can't work 100% of the time, then it's no good to me. I have a few more things to try, such as updating the router's firmware (though I'm far from convinced that the problem lies there); or I could try reverting to an earlier version of SS and firmware (though I'd lose other things in the process, and - again - no guarantee it will actually help); or - though it really galls - there's bitrate limiting to try (though how could this explain the damn thing turning itself off?); but my patience buffer is approaching overflow. I want to listen to my music, not spend all my free time faffing about with experiments. Right now, it looks like wireless streaming is not the future, but only the past, as far as I'm concerned. (I hope I live to eat my words, but right now I am royally pissed [off]. Sure enough, as I've been composing this rant, the damn thing has worked perfectly. But I keep expecting it to fail at any minute, and that's the rub: I just don't trust it any more. And indeed, it's just failed again.) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
