First post, but long time SB user.

In my collection I have a couple of Booms (original, not UE).  Once is
in my office - connected by ethernet, the other is in the bedroom as an
alarm - connected by WiFi.  All was well until a week ago or so.  I was
woken by the alarm playing random tracks from LMS on the Synology NAS,
went into the shower with the music playing as usual, but when I got out
of the shower the music had stopped - still apparently playing, but
silent.  I powered off and on again, but was unable to connect to the
WiFi.  I went through the setup from scratch, could see my SID, checked
and re-entered the WiFi password, but connection attempts just timed out
and would not connect.  I tried everything, made sure the MAC for the
Boom was allowed in the Draytek router access control and so on, but no
luck.  I went through a few days of checking everything, restarting the
router, re-adding the Boom's MAC, scanning for devices and finding the
Boom, it just would not connect to the router any more.  At this point I
decided to swap the Booms over, but the office one also wouldn't connect
to WiFi either although it was OK with ethernet.

So, short of running a cable across the landing from the office to the
bedroom (unlikely to be allowed as a permanent fix), I'm stuck.  The
strange thing was that it dropped whilst in use without any other action
- nothing had changed on the router, the network or any other hardware
as I was in the shower and I'm the only in-house techie.  I've scanned
the network from the router and I can see the two Booms when they
attempt to use the WiFi.  Both MACs are allowed to connect and show in
the Neighbo(u)rs tab in the router but they will not make an authorised
connection to the network.  All my other devices that use WiFi are OK,
including a Receiver and Controller from the same MAC address range.

Just don't know what to try next...
