Forcing it to connect to only one may improve your experience slightly but is more likely to cause you problems with drop-outs which is presumably why you have two APs installed.

I do have an ethernet port in the theater, AND in the equipment room, so I could easily do an access point plus a switch. I need more wired connections in the equipment room anyway. Glad to be of service. I thought I'd mention that a Wireless Access Point (WAP) isn't a wireless router. So you will need to be a little careful in your choice. Although physically they can be identical they have different control software. Some wireless routers can be configured to be just access points though. Unfortunately for some reason access points often seem to be a lot more expensive that wireless routers. For anyone considering multiple access points/wireless routers. The key element is the IP address. Unless you manually assign all devices with their own unique IP address then ideally only one device should be a DHCP server giving out IP addresses. If there has to be two or more DHCP servers then ensure that the addresses that they give out do not overlap each other but that they are all within the same network address range. Typical home equipment defaults to using the address range 192.168.0.X/24 or 192.168.1.x/24 (The 24 refers to a simple netmask of 255.255.255.0). This gives a maximum of 254 addresses (since you can't use .0 or .255 as these are used to broadcast to all devices on the network). Just ensure that the range of the .X doesn't overlap on any DHCP server and not fogetting the servers/router's own address. Using DHCP in general and multiple DHCP in particular means any device can change it's IP address at any time so you cannot rely upon it for security or any block/allow filters such as in SqueezeCentre. -- Zaragon Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44707 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

terry_gardener;279371 Wrote: if you can adhoc wifi connect the controller with the receiver and connect the receiver via ethernet that would be ok. Yes, that works fine. if the above cannot be done what is the range on the controller becaused my sb2 doesn't connect properly using wireless due to the range It's not any better than the SB2 as far as I can tell. How far away is your wifi AP from the SB2? Right now the SB2/3 can't act as an ad-hoc server for the Controller, but it's a proposed feature. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44707 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
