Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch can't find network after power outage
Try rebooting the router after a power outage. It helps in getting my SB Boom reconnected (which also requires a reboot). I really doubt your Touch needs a Factory Reset to get reconnected if you reboot router & Touch. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112325 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch can't find network after power outage
Check to see what channel your router is using. If it is Channel 6 try changing it to 1 or 11 and reconnecting. It sounds as though your router could be set to Auto for channel selection so after a power outage reboot it selects what it thinks is the best channel and if that is 6 it is likely your Touch/Radio/boom will not find the network. Set the channel to be permanently 1 or 11.

I don't have a solution for you, but can tell you that my system goes goofy after a power failure, and it is repeatable (it happens as a result of every power failure), see my thread: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112090-Power-Interruptions-amp-Timezone-Loss Our power goes out all of the time (wind + tall trees = no power). On this system I have a PiCore 4.0 with a usb HDD (as a LMS server), and a touch, boom, and radio as players. What always happens after a power failure is this: Touch time screensaver goes dark (assume time data is corrupt or missing) Time on boom and radio are wrong, off by hours. Radio paradise FLAC plugin gets goofy (interactive mode stutters, regular stream has no artwork or song info) It seems from your post that you have clock issues as well? You usually have the clock, do you have the black screen when this happens? It seems we might have something in common in that regard. My recovery is a bit of pain, but I have a known method. It's very similar to uninstalling and reinstalling LMS, rescanning, etc. My path forward is to upgrade to PiCore 6.0, we'll have to see if that does any good. I suspect it's something LMS related, tho...

This poster for some reason had problems with channel 6 and hypothesized that the TOUCH doesn't like channel 6, but there is nothing inherently wrong with channel 6 on a TOUCH. One of my TOUCH players is on Channel 6. (of course, it is well known that one should try to use 1, 6, or 11, as these are the only channels that don't overlap a side channel, and using "auto" channel select is not a good thing.) edit: and of course if a particular channel is overused nearby, suffers interference, etc. then it should be avoided.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch can't find network after power outage
It happened to me (on one of my Boom's) and despite many attempts I could not get it to connect to Channel 6. Changed it to 1 or 11 and it connected immediately. I have seen the same thing when first getting Sonoff devices connected. I am using Unifi AP's (x4) with the Unifi Controller and I have just remotely changed the channel on my Garage AP to 6 and the Boom immediately disappeared from LMS. Switched it back to 1 and it came back on line so easily repeatable. A second Boom located in my office on a different Unifi AP has no problem with Channel 6. There is no channel interference and none of my neighbours are using channel 6 according to the Controller: [image: https://i.imgur.com/nBRQAVW.jpg] Not offering a technical reason, simply a possible solution to your woes. I could take the office Boom to the Garage and see if they both behave the same way but no reason to do so as I have a working solution.

I have an eero mesh network, and don't see a way to change the wifi channel, which may be antithetical to mesh networks in any case. -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112325 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch can't find network after power outage
Eero in the 2.4 MHz band uses Channels 1 and 6. No way to change that so you could (if you have an Android phone) use WiFi Analyser or Wifiman to do a spectrum scan and see which channels are being used on each AP. Alternatively buy a LAN > Wifi adapter for the Radio.

Exactly what I see with a Boom and Radio when I use Channel 6! Try another make of AP on Ch1 or 11 in your bedroom.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch can't find network after power outage
netchord, I know alot of the focus has been on wifi channel, but I wanted to tell you to keep your eyes open to other possibilities. As I stated, I too have frequent power failures, and when the power comes up, my system is not completely broken, but crippled. My touch does not show the time screensaver, it is blank. My radio and boom show an incorrect time. LMS on a pcp runs with the players, but things act goofy, rebuffering, etc. The touch forgets it's name (maybe that's because LMS stored the renamed name?) while the radio and boom remember their. When in this state, if I stop and restart LMS, it hangs, forever if I let it, and I essentially have to rebuild LMS on my PCP, remount the HDD etc. I never have to do anything with the players. The sd card of the pcp might have gotten corrupted, but it doesn't get damaged, as I am able to restore with the same card. It was suggested (for me) to see if PcP 6.1 is better, so I updated. Waiting for the next thunderstorm/high wind event. I'm sorry I don't have a good solution for you, but I wanted you to know that I experience the same, and it's not the players Jim Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112325 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
