Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to make network selection sticky?
FYI, I did a test where I did a factory reset and set up networking with my SSID not hidden, and everything worked as expected. Updated the bug report with the new info. Seems to clearly indicate that the hidden SSID on initial networking setup was what triggered the bug. -- kmr kmr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10664 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I also hide my SSID and use WPA2+AES and all of my SB players (Radio, Touch, SB3, Boom) all reconnect automatically via WiFi after completely cutting power to them and/or moving them. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to make network selection sticky?
At best a hidden SSID will make a hacker go for another network than yours. They can find out the SSID as easy as they can clone your MAC Address. At worst your neighbourghs will not know that you are "ocupying" a channel. My Duets had some trouble when I was hiding my SSID.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to make network selection sticky?
Mine just reconnects, and I don't think there's a setting that controls this. Have you tried un-hiding your SSID to see if that's causing the problem? If so, you should be fine leaving it unhidden, because hiding the SSID doesn't really enhance your security. I don't think it adds any security beyond what you have with WPA2 and a strong passphrase. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] How to make network selection sticky?
My Radio does exactly what you wish: unplug Radio, plug back in, automatically re-connects to my WiFi (with WPA2), starts playing where it left off. There is no Radio setting for this that I know of, it's just it's default behaviour. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71568 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
