[SlimDevices: Radio] Lose WiFi after unplugging???
An Amazon Reviewer says you lose the WiFi connection settings if you unplug and the plug it back in somewhere else in the house: "The Squeezbox loses the wifi access if it loses power. I guess this is a security plus, but its a usefulness minus since it means i cannot simply unplug the device and move it around the house." Is this true Thanks -- RedCoat999 RedCoat999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77453 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Of course it drops of the network unpowered, but it will right back when powered again. maybe not on the same ip of you use dhcp but it remembers the wifi password and ssid. -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77453 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Mnyb is correct. That reviewer is either a moron or has a very whacky network. I move my Boom & Radio all the time, plug them in, they automatically goes through their regular network setup, 30 seconds tops to playing music again. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77453 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Whenever I visit the inlaws, I grab my Radio from work, and take it along with me. It remembers the network name at the inlaws as well as the key and is online as soon as I plug it in. So, um, yeah it drops Wifi when I unplug it and toss it in the car for a couple hours. It comes right back when I take it out of the car and plug it back in. (Not as simple as "buy a battery pack!" in that case, since it's 100 some miles to the inlaws, I don't think their wifi extends that far...) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77453 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

This is the first thing I tried when I received/installed the battery earlier this week & tested it out. -- danull danull's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77453 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
