I have an SB3 and two Duets which, until recently, were all working fine (although I recall some challenges with the initial set up). After shutting down my wireless network for a week or so (to paint the house), I can no longer get my two SBRs to connect to my network, although the SB3 is fine. After trying everything I can think of over the last 24 hours, I am at my wit's end and I am in desperate need of help.
My setup is a little unusual, so I will try to describe it fully. My broadband connection is upstairs along with a wireless router (#1). My SB3 is directly downstairs and connects to #1's wireless network. The two SBRs are downstairs but are out of range of the wireless network #1. So, downstairs I have a second wireless router (#2) which has a wired connection to #1. Previously I had the SBRs connected to #2 and similarly two SBCs connected to #2 with which I was able to control both the SBRs and the SB3. The wired connection between #1 and #2 is LAN to LAN and to ensure that everything is on the same subnet and #2 has DHCP turned off, so anything connecting to #2's wireless network is assigned an IP address by router #1. Previously this set-up worked fine, but now the SBCs are able to connect to the wireless network without any problem (and control the SB3), but I cannot get the SBRs to connect. I found the following instructions in another post and tried following them: - Power off the Receiver and leave it off. - Make sure your SB3 is connected to SqueezeCenter and that it has a name. - Using the IR remote, verify that the SB3 is able to play music from the server. - Perform a factory reset on the Controller (hold the + key while cycling the power--I usually remove the battery--and keep it held down until the Logitech logo appears). - Follow the steps to set up the Controller, making sure you're connecting to the right network (I know this sounds silly, but you can have an issue if you are using a default SSID.) - Skip the Setup Receiver step - If your server is listed on the Music Source screen, select it now. If it's not, then the Controller and server aren't on speaking terms. Do not select SN... contact Technical Support and have them help you. - At this point, you should have control of the SB3 using the Controller... if not, then even though the server was listed, there's something preventing the server and Controller from speaking. At that point, I'm out of ideas and you'll really need to elevate this to our Technical Support team. - Assuming you could control the SB3, power up the SBR. Perform a factory reset by holding down the button for 6 seconds. - On the Controller, go to *Settings > Advanced > Set up Receiver* and select your Receiver. After it completes the setup, and the button is a dimly lit white color, you should have control of both the SB3 and the SBR. If not, call Technical Support. When attempting this, the following occurs: after the factory reset, there is no "Set up Receiver" option under Settings > Advanced. However, if I power-cycle the SBC then I see a "Choose Player Option" which includes both the SB3 and a "Squeezebox 163...". If I select the latter a screen appears saying "Connecting to blah" (where blah is name of the SSID of router #2, the one the SBC was connected to). While this is happening, the light on the SBR stops flashing and changes to solid red, followed by yellow, green (for some time) and then blue. Shortly afterwards, the SBC says "Problem connecting" and gives the choices "Try again" or "Skip this step". If I try again, I am taken back to the "Choose player" options. If I connect to the SB3 there is no problem, but if I try connecting to the SBR there is again an extended wait "Connecting to blah" (this time with solid blue on the SBR) and eventually I am thrown back to the "Problem Connecting" screen. I have tried this with both of the SBRs (and I have done this with only one SBC and one SBR powered up at a time) and with both SBCs. The result is always the same. The SBRs would appear never to connect to the network: not only do they never appear in the web UI drop-down list, but they never appear as attached devices on my router admin pages. Note that wireless network #2 seems to work ok as I am able to connect to it with a notebook and surf the web. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. My next plan is to have an SBC connect to wireless network #1 and move one of the SBRs into range and try that. Although, even if that works, I don't know how I will get it to connect back to #2. -- smc2911 http://www.last.fm/user/smc2911/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55714 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
