I don't believe that is actually true. Example case: my icky old router was finally annoying me enough it was time to swap it out for one I had lying around. I didn't feel like changing SSID's, so the new router took on the SSID of the old. Datapoints: my Linux netbook noticed me unplug things and install the new router, but was happily online. my ip3k devices (SB2/SBReceiver) did the same thing. my phone actually worked (it didn't like the WPA/AES combo I had on the old router which doesn't do WPA2, but lets me use the non-standard-but-secure AES). The SBController and Touch, however would NOT reassociate. See, in addition to the SSID, many clients keep track of the router mac ID's to make sure there is no spoofing going on. This annoyed the SBC and Touch -- they saw the same SSID but different MAC and refused to connect. So, no, I wouldn't expect "use the same SSID" to work. (The encryption settings did change -- from WPA/AES to WPA2/AES, but months ago when I forced it to be WPA/AES the Touch/SBC didn't have too much of an issue with it.) The good news: the Radio certainly remembers networks it has been on. I would assume the Touch/SBC do as well. If I take my Radio to the inlaws, it remembers the network it was on before and connects right up. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

If you want to connect your Touch to two wireless routers without entering SSID/password, the router's IP is irrelevant AFAIK. As long as the SSID and the password (and possibly also the other encryption settings) are the same, the Touch should be able to connect automagically to both. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- duet + boom + radio (+touch on the way) / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7/avira free Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch ordered, very excited, two questions.
Thanks folks. I should have maybe added that I recently got back into vinyl in a serious way, and have been doing a lot of 24/96 needle-drops which astonishingly the Touch can handle, that's pretty amazing value before you start! -- chevvies Meridian GO6, 506, Squeezebox 3, Oppo DV980H, Marantz TT15S1, MacBook Pro, MacBook, iBook G4, Cambridge Audio DacMagic, Humax HD FoxT2 > Grover SC > Wyred4Sound ST 1000 + Cyrus PreXVS > Ecosse ES 4.45 bi-wire > ATC SCM19, Atacama SL500, FlexyTable, Panasonic 37PX80B. chevvies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9152 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I haven't tried this, but I suspect if both routers have the same IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and both use the same type of WIFI security (e.g., WPA), then it should be as simple as making sure you have exactly the same WIFI password for both routers. The TOUCH remembers the password, once entered. So you should be able to enter it once then use it with either router. For example, at my weekend place, I unplug everything when leaving. On return, I plug in power strip, and the TOUCH starts up and within a few seconds finds the router and connects. I don't have to renter anything. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch ordered, very excited, two questions.
Sorry, I don't know the answer to your first question. For your second, sound quality can be very subjective, and they're your ears. While the DAC in the Touch is very good, you should at least do some comparative listening between Touch alone and Touch+DACMagic (and SB3+DACMagic) to see which _you_ prefer. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81955 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
[SlimDevices: Touch] Touch ordered, very excited, two questions.
Like my SB3 before, I will use it at two different locations along with my MacBook. I have the same model router at each place, but is there a way the Touch can automatically start without the need for entering each router password? I have been using the Cambridge DacMagic with the SB3, but I read that this is not as good as the DAC in the Touch, so that would be a pretty pointless alliance?
