Briefly: WiFi=6 and mesh are confusing (incompatible with) the radio's WiFi chip firmware. For a history of the investigation into this issue, start 'here' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111663-Community-Build-Radio-Firmware&p=988206&viewfull=1#post988206) and keep reading. Many pages. > - And what does wlanPoke do to fix this? - Are there alternative > solutions ... The script does not fix the disruption issue. Instead, it restarts the wireless radio after a disruption has been detected, frequently quickly enough so that music that has been downloaded to the radio does not "run out" before the radio reconnects. One alternative solution is to use Ethernet. However, this makes the radio non-portable. Another solution is to reduce or eliminate WiFi-6 and/or mesh interference (good luck with the neighbors...). One day, WiFi-6 and mesh, which were supposed to be "compatible," may actually become so, and eliminate the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POMdev's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114775 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
