Re: [slim] Connection problems SB classic
Well I have had it hard wired for 2 evenings and it stayed connected all the time with no problems. I have upgraded the router's firmware to the latest one, but when running the SB on wifi it still constantly disconnects every few minutes. I just cannot figure out why this happens. My other internet radio which is set up with the same wifi settings vary rarely misses a beat. I have tried to reposition the SB which makes no difference. On the laptop which is in the same room, it shows that the signal is virtually 100% most of the time. Any ideas gratefully accepted please. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Connection problems SB classic
Thanks for the replies. I've checked the wifi utility for networks in the neighborhood, and there are about 5, and as a consequence have changed my channel no. Will let you know how it goes. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Connection problems SB classic
Well, after changing the routers channel no to 1 it stays connected all the time in any room. So I am hoping that this is the end of my woes. Thanks to everyone who replied with help/suggestions. I did a bit of digging with the search function on SN, and came across a thread from someone with similar problems, and suggestions included changing the routers channel no. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

TiredLegs;397542 Wrote: I think the first thing to isolate is whether the problem is internal in your WiFi network or external in the internet connection (AOL and DSL?). To eliminate WiFi as a variable, if you have a long Ethernet cable on hand, you could temporarily hard wire the Squeezebox to the router, to see if that makes any difference. One potential source of localized intermittent WiFi interference could be a cordless phone in use in the house. Hi and thanks for the reply. I have now hard wired it, and will test it tonight. Yes, we do have a cordless phone, but this does not affect the wifi access on either laptops or on my Roberts WM-202 internet radio. Indeed the Roberts hardly even misses a beat. I have ordered a longer ariel for the netgear router, as the signal possibly drops as it enters the bedroom. Have to see if that makes a difference. I will probably update the router firmware soon as well. I have had the router for about a year and never updated the firmware. The firmware for the SB classic is the latest 123. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Connection problems SB classic
Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but here goes. I have had my SB classic for about a week now. Vista basic, Netgear DG834GT router and isp aol. I am having a problem in as much as the SB sometimes cannot connect to the squeeze network, or cannot find the address etc.Sometimes when it does connect, every couple of minutes or so it keeps buffering. At other times I can listen to internet radio for hours, at the moment I have had it on for almost 4 hours and it hasn't missed a beat. When I have the problems, my other internet radio (Roberts WM-202) is working fine. Both radios are conected via wifi, and I have checked and double checked the settings wep key etc, and they are all correct. The router is in the hall and the SB is in the kitchen. Distance from router to SB approx 7 metres. Now the Kitchen problem is not such a huge one, BUT when I wish to use the SB in the bedroom, that's when the problems intensify, and last night I could not connect at all. Distance from Router to bedroom approx 8 metres (Bungalow). Kitchen and bedroom doors are always open. One thing probably worth a mention, is that since about Thursday until yesterday (Saturday) aol have been having mega problems, which resulted in either no connection at all for numerous hours or connection dipping constantly on and off. Only today does aol seem to have a stable connection. Any ideas would be appreciated please. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60126 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox classic
It arrived today. What a lovely bit of kit. Surprisingly heavy for the size. It's going to take a few days at least to work it all out, but I like a challenge. One good thing is that I can take it to bed with earphones. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59378 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox classic
Thanks for replies everyone. I will download Squeezecente sometime today. No doubt as a silver surfer I will be on here asking questions. I already have a robertsWM-202 wifi internet radio, but it is not possible to listen to live 365 or last.fm, so a squeezebox will open new doors for me. Exciting times. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59378 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox classic
After much deliberation, I have finally ordered a Squeezebox classic. I was lucky to have got the last one from amazon. Should be here early next week. I'm quite exited. -- 3nuttyspringers 3nuttyspringers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23812 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59378 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Boom vs classic
Hi Newbee here. I am thinking of getting a squeezebox boom or classic. Now my question is, the boom has inbuilt speakers?, the classic has to go through the hifi? Also, can I receive most live 365 and most last.fm programmes with either these two machines?
