I am not a magician, but I will try and help. I have been frustrated at times with the Logitech system. We need to sort what exactly is the problem, and it not clear. In case you are not aware, a Radio needs to connect to a music server which can be 1) Logitech Media Server (LMS) installed on a computer or 2) My Squeezebox.com (MySB) via the internet. To connect to the server, the Radio first needs to connect to the router which can be via wireless or ethernet. (Sorry if you already know this, but sometimes people don't.) Finally, you can switch between using LMS and MySB. Under the main menu selecting My Music will cause the Radio to look for LMS. There is an option to connect to MySB. You said, "If I leave them off for a period, they won't re-connect." The problem could be one, or possibly a combination, of the following: 1) The Radio cannot connect to the router 2) the Radio cannot connect to MySB 3) Radio cannot connect to LMS on your computer. The topic of this thread has been a problem with the Radios not connecting reliably with the router via Wi-Fi. If you see the red Wi-Fi symbol, then connecting to the router might be the problem. Try testing it with an ethernet connection to see if the problem goes away. If it does you might have the interference problem with Wi-Fi6 standard. (I have assumed you already checked that the Wi-Fi password is correct.) If you know how to connect to your router, log-in to see if your Radios are connected to the local network. The first step is making sure the Radios are connected to your network. If necessary, the second step will be trying to figure out if there is a problem connecting to LMS or MySB. Providing some additional details will also help. What version of LMS?. On the Radio go so Settings> Advance Setting> Diagnostics> General Info. What firmware version is shown? Which server do you want to use, LMS or MySB? I hope this helps. Oh, don't destroy the Radios, you can get some money on e-bay for them! ;) Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
