I debated starting a new thread for this, but I'll stick with this one and try not to add to the clutter.
Two things that are not ready for primetime: wireless networking and the Controller. Maybe that's overstating things a bit, but I'm frustrated. And let me also state that I love my duet. Love. When it's working. When it's not working, it makes me want to hurt someone. My setup: Windows XP running SqueezeCenter 7.2.1 (connected via ethernet to the router) Linksys WRTP54G (the Vonage router) Linksys WRE54G (wireless range expander) Using DHCP and WPA 1 SBC (7.2 r3191) 2 SBR's, one is via ethernet to the router, the second is wireless Everything seems to work (mostly) fine when I'm associate with the router. It's with the second access point (the range expander) that causes things to get flaky. I know the secondary AP is working, and has a reasonably strong connection to my router -- my primary computer connects to the web via the range expander, works fine. But the SBC doesn't see the rest of my network when it is associated with the range expander -- it can't find the XP box running SC and it can't find either of my SBR's. The SBR that I use wirelessly seems to connect fine via the range expander...it's just the controller that has issues. I'm not 100% certain this is a Squeezebox issue, could be my network setup. But it seems odd to me that other wireless devices work, and it's really only the controller that causes me grief. So I'm left to wonder: 1 - Are range expanders a bad way to go? Do they in someway just complicate the network? I'm not impressed with Vonage, maybe it's time for a new router...but I'll need something with strong range to deal with the plaster walls and chimney in the middle of the house. Any suggestions? 2 - are more network fixes coming for the controller with future software releases? 3 - would static IP's help? Or would that be a lot of hassle for nothing?
