I'm looking at what may be a bricked boom and am seriously thinking of researching the Sonos line which seems to have gotten a bunch cheaper than I remember it being back when I bought into Slimdevices.

Re: [slim] Dear Squeezebox, still love you
Yeah, geez. Ever since my local radio NPR station decided to drop the Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts back in maybe 2004 or 2005 and I found a SB3 as the best available solution to stream the broadcast, I've been responsible for my SB3 and two booms (would have bought another at least if I had realized in times that Log. was dumping them a few years back. . .sigh), and then within the extended family it's probably another 5 SB3's and 4 booms. Would probably pick up a radio or a touch, but the silence from Log. and the gradual death of the product line is preparing me to switch to Sonos if need be when I move to a new house (rather than add a few more booms and touchs as I probably would if the line would continue) and my family continually ask me about whether they can get another boom. Just don't get it.

[slim] Range Extenders Compatibility?
I'm trying to add a Squeezeboom to my folks setup in an old condo.The router/ap is at one end of the condo and give reliable wireless for the back half. Walls are thick and I'd rather not run cat5 down the long hallway. The circuits are multiple which I believe rules out the powerline networking. So, I'm trying to gather information about range extenders. Searching the forums gives some hints that people have had trouble getting squeezeboxes to work with range extenders, but it's not conclusive. My folks have a d-link router but d-link no longer makes a range extender that I can see. So I'm considering a setup with a LINKSYS WRE54G Wireless-G Range Extender and replacing the router with a LINKSYS WRT54GL (flash with tomato firmware perhaps?) Any advice or experiences would be appreciated, especially if you've had trouble with repeaters and squeezebox/booms -- Clnanderson Clnanderson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54487 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Range Extenders Compatibility?
I'm not sure about whether the circuits are on the same phase (or how to check that, in fact), nor how one would go about bridging phases. But, I'll have to do so more or better research, before I rule that out. -- Clnanderson Clnanderson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54487 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Hardware failure?
I have a squeezebox 3 and it ran great for the last 15 months. Today when I turned it on, something went wrong. I think it is a hardware problem. The startup screen doesn't display correctly--it flashes for about a 1/2 second on 1 second off, the pixels that form the letters are about 1/3 lighted up 2/3's not. It's possible to make out what it is saying sort of, but not follow through the menus. Then it seems to fail to connect to the network though why isn't clear because I can't read the display. (I just checked my router logs and the sb connects and then disconnects for reason timeout, station left.) I did a factory reset and that has not changed the behavior. (I could just read the words factory reset--so I'm sure it worked). I'm guessing this is a hardware problem and seems to, at least, be a failure in the display and more since it won't connect to the network. Any suggestions? -- Clnanderson Clnanderson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6280 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35765 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
