Re: [slim] Controller Lag

I think I may have solved the problem, and this should help for other
people facing this problem.
I changed my security from WPA to WEP 128Bit , I haven't had any lag or
disconnects with this protocol.

7.1 massively improves the connectivity lag between Controller and
SB/Duet, so I'd upgrade if possible.

I'd upgrade to 7.1 and then go back to WPA.  WPA2 if possible.  I'm
running WPA2 with no lag issues what so ever.

I did upgrade to 7.1 and it still have major issues with wpa2
WEP is the only thing that works for me.

IT is weird though because I used to have it hooked up via ethernet
only and the controller was giving me problems.

Having to downgrade WiFi security to get a product working is usually
the point where I decide that the non-functioning product is not fit
for purpose. I'm not there yet with the Controller, but I suspect I may
not be far off.

I'm rapidly losing faith in Slim Devices due to their lack of
visibility in these Controller connectivity issue threads - very poor
show. :(

Instead of getting mad, why not just return it?

Maybe because I expect better from Slim Devices than this silence
concerning a poor quality product/implementation?

I intend to give the Duet I have bought one more try when I receive my
replacement (my original Controller had a faulty rewind button) - if
the replacement doesn't work either then yes I'll be giving it up as a
lost cause and taking a refund and won't look back. Before that though
I'd like to try and work through the problems which I'm pretty damned
sure are not entirely due to my network as everything else on it (I
have a ton of devices) works without any problem but so far it's the
deathly silence that's annoying me... like someone is sticking their
head in the sand.

[slim] Controller Lag

2008-07-27 Thread mfpreach

Hi Everyone, I love the product but i'm having one issue.

After listening to music for awhile the SB Duet Controller will lose
connection to the SB and the computer and be really laggy until it
reconnects 30secs to 2 mins later.

I don't know why the controller keeps dropping off.
My SB is connected via ethernet , not wireless, and it is connecting to
a macbook also connected via ethernet with the new Slimserver 7.0.1

Lastly, I haven't been able to upgrade the controller firmware and it
gives me an error when i try and when I tried to manually download the
file it wasn't available anymore.

Any insight would be appreciated as I have to prime this device for my
luddite parents and constant drop offs will turn into frustrating phone
calls.
