Yes, I also realized that the 5GHz idea was nonsense, since none of the Squeezeboxes supports that. Ethernet over powerline could be option. Thanks for bringing that up, garym. What I did to day, as a start, was move the SB Touch a couple of metres so that I could connect it to the router via (real) Ethernet, at least temporarily. Turns out that the rebuffering issue is gone. Probably because it SB Touch is now closer to the Router (i.e. Wifi access point). But it could also be that the speakers chose a better frequency, for some reason (perhaps because the Xeo transmitter is now also closer to the access point?). For anybody experiencing more serious issues with this kind of setup, I'd like to point you to 'this addendum to the Xeo manual' (http://www.dynaudio.com/int/xeo/XEO_OwnersManualA.html). It explains how you can set your speakers to use a fixed frequency. Unfortunately, Dynaudio does not tell us exactly what frequencies the speakers are capable of using and how to set them. So if anyone figured that one out, please post. get.amped wrote: > > Edit: on the other hand you can afford those speakers so the cost of the > WAPs is probably just noise... I have one unused WAP anyway but it's either 2.4 -or- 5 GHz, but before I buy another WAP I guess those Powerline adapters are the better option, if I ever need them. No, I would never buy those speakers at their recommended selling price and not even at the current sale price. I was lucky to get them used for less than half of their original selling price. garym wrote: > Also note that using the 40Mhz bandwidth can sometimes create *more* > problems.

Good point. I just followed the advice provided 'here' (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405996,00.asp). I wonder, though, if setting your router to 40 MHz alone already creates more interference or whether you actually need to fully use it, which is probably only the case at certain critical moments. But since my rebuffering issue seems solved, I'll switch it back, since there are at least 20 wifis in my area. *Server*: LMS 7.7.3 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), Boom, Squeezeplayer on iPad 2 *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, SmartMix, Custom Browse chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101272 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Also, when getting rebuffering, you might see if if is related to a synched player.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering problem with wireless network....
Thank you for your suggestions. Before I read them I was thinking how odd it was that the second closest player to the router had a signal strength of only 20% and others much further away were much stronger. So I did a little test and turned it off. Violaeverything else worked as it should. I then realised that this Touch player was also connected wirelessly to its speakers. Clearly that was interfering with the router signal. I moved the player from its position to see if I could get a stronger signal. Got it to 75% strength by moving it marginally. That made the difference and I've now had no buffering for about an hour. I might well have fixed the problem. *_Another_issue__*you might be able to help me with is with settings. I have one player that is named 'unnamed controller'. When I choose 'settings' in LMS and choose the 'player' tab I get this message '404 Not Found: playerid=00:04:20:27:0a:d3' and nothing else.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering problem with wireless network....
With such long delay and all the players are synced , I would guess that one player may be the cause (the alternatives could be a server / network overload or dying router) and so you may need only to "fix" one player. I suggest try to get a scenario where rebuffering happens predictably and then run a series of tests, repeating the scenario but taking one player out of the sync group for each test. If rebuffering goes away on one of your tests when a specific player is not in the sync group then check he player to see what is the problem. If rebuffering does not go away - look for some more systemic such as server or network overload. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101768 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Rebuffering problem with wireless network....
Are all the Squeeze devices wireless? What music format is going over your network, FLAC, WAV, MP3? I think WAV would be most taxing and MP3 would be the least. What about the 7 cameras, are they live video and wireless? If the answer is yes, I'd start shutting off cameras. If you get to where all the cameras are shut down and still have the rebuffering then you know your cameras aren't overloading the network causing the squeezes to be rebuffering.

[slim] Rebuffering problem with wireless network....
I am running 6 synchronized squeezeboxes (3 Touch, 3 Radio) on a wireless network through LMS on a current (fast) Readynas NAS. I am getting constant rebuffering ( can range from a few seconds to a minute) to the point that its completely unusable. This occurs irrespective of whether I am using my local library or internet radio streaming. Signal strength ranges 100% to 20% (strangely the 20% is second closest to the router). I have tried a complete power cycle of the router and squeezeboxes but that hasn't helped. I am also running 7 Logitech Alert security cameras but my limited understanding is that they should not be causing interference. I have tried to eliminate other issues such as microwave etc but still have the problem. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions as I need to get it working for a important function next week.

Sorry for not repling sooner. Neighbours went away the other week and everything got better. As it's a night-time problem I'm blaming their baby listeners :) Doesn't help that my SB Classic is right up against next doors wall I guess. I think the issue was limited to FLAC files, probably just due to their size. Thinking about it, YouTube vids used to hang in the same room on my old laptop as well. Could be related.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering Problem - Squeezebox Classic
I'd say the most likely cause is wifi interference. It could be a neighbor's new router, or old router switched to a different channel that collides with yours. Or cordless phones, or a baby monitor, or microwave oven. Any of those could easily interfere with one of your wifi devices (eg, the SB3/Classic) and not the other (eg, the Boom). The "80% network" is an average figure that often doesn't capture interference. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88706 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Rebuffering Problem - Squeezebox Classic
Hi, I have a Squeezebox Classic (Firmware 133) and a Squeezebox Boom running on SBS Version: 7.5.4 - r32171. The hardware is an old Dell PC running Ubuntu server. Recently the Classic has started rebuffering when playing flac files every 10 seconds or so. The Boom is fine. Both have 80% network. Any ideas? -- Fiddlesticks Fiddlesticks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88706 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
