I turned off WEP and the SB is still rebooting at random. I don't know where to turn from here. I've tried every channel, turned off WEP, reverted to a B-only network, I have strong signal strength, no cordless phones, no microwaves, I've turned off dynamic IP addressing -- I don't know what else to do.
As far as I can tell, Squeezebox is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY WORTHLESS for the advertised purpose of "wireless music". I would have expected Slim Devices, or any competent designer of wireless electronics, to have provided a reasonable workaround -- dropouts, anything -- but REBOOTING, frequently and randomly, is absolutely, positively unforgivable. I strongly suspect that the "6 to 8 weeks" lead time on new wireless squeezeboxs is due to the fact that Slim D. finally figured out that they are utter pieces of shit, and are working feverishly to prepare a new batch for shipment, before they lose too many more customers -- like me. I will henceforth be plugging my portable MP3 jukebox into my home theater system, until I can find a better solution. I will not be purchasing another squeezebox, nor recommending them to anyone -- in fact I will be recommending that people stay far, far away. At least my MP3 jukebox can keep an accurate count of how many songs are in my MP3 library. It's been a brief and pointless affair. I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am. All I really wanted was an MP3 jukebox with a nice display, that had remote control functionality. Slim and the SB just don't cut it, with their alpha-level open source software and flaky hardware. Looking forward to the Samsung HT-P50 so my MP3 jukebox can be directly accessed and controlled through my home theater system. Flame away all you want. I don't care. I won't be reading the e-mail threads any more, since I no longer consider myself a Squeezebox or Slim Devices fan. Oh, and by the way, I have a slightly used "wireless" squeezebox for sale, if anyone's stupid enough to purchase it. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
