Over time, reluctant wifi reconnecting behavior (when moved, when router rebooted, etc) became no wifi reconnecting at all. Wifi function declared dead, I couldn't get it to connect.
"External wifi antennae" used to be made by many co's and were easy to find. Not so much now. Needed one with that was small and hide-able behind the Boom itself. Many products tout themselves as being "bridges" but the ones I found were wifi extenders and I didn't want that happening. I have an Orbi system that works great and I didn't want to crowd the airwaves with unneeded added traffic. Yes, I know most old routers can be configured to be wifi antennae (bridges) but they're not small and I discard them when I buy a new one. I found the Iogear ethernet to wifi product. It's about 3 inches by 1 inch and is a simple external wifi antenna. Setup was easy. It has two connections, a USB cable to a small wall wart for power and an ethernet cable to the Boom. Reconfigured the Boom's network connection to wired and that was it. It works great and my Boom is back to normal functioning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108704 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
