[slim] Receiver bridged mode networking
Hi, I'm currently using two receivers, one controller, a Linux server (Squeezecenter 7.2.1) and one wireless access point. The receivers are both hard wired, as is the server. I'm getting various issues with the wireless range as the access point isn't well positioned for the room that the second receiver is in. So, what I was wondering is whether bridged mode might be better and use the receivers as access points for the controller. Question is, will a controller use two receivers and switch between each one seamlessly as the controller moves from one room to another or will it only ever use one? Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks. -- bigbill bigbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19505 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55242 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Receiver bridged mode networking
The controller (and other devices) do not curerntly support wireless roaming. There is an open bug for this that is supposed to be addressed with release 7.3. I have a wireless range expander, and from what I can tell the controller grabs the stonger signal when it is turned on, and holds onto it until it loses that signal completely. The preferred method of operation would be that it scan for a stronger signal in the background and switch (seamlessly) when one becomes available. I'm looking forward to this feature.
