I'm just about ready to give up here. I had my Squeezebox working quite reliably with a Linksys WRT54G, but it didn't give quite enough coverage for my whole house, so I switched to an 802.11n router to get more WiFi coverage: the Linksys WRT610N. I've configured the WRT610N to run in dual-network mode: the 5ghz band is pure 802.11n, and the 2.4Ghz band is pure 802.11g. The Squeezebox remote and player both are able to connect to the 802.11g network initially, but the player loses connection frequently and I see button on the front go yellow.
Last night I configured both the player and the remote to use a static IP - why Logitech hid the ability to do that in the initial setup only is beyond me - and I thought that would help. It doesn't - the player still can't reliably get a connection after it wakes up. The remote always connects just fine. I have to pull the power plug on the player and let it re-start before I can get it to work. Any suggestions from other owners of the WRT610N? Are there some magic settings that help? I know it's hard for Logitech to test every router out there, but Linksys is the 800 pound Gorilla in wireless routers and I'm frustrated the Squeezebox isn't compatible with this router since it's the most high-end one Linksys makes. Is there an approved list of 802.11n routers that Logitech knows will work with the Squeezebox? I'm getting frustrated that I keep throwing money at this problem - before this 610N router I had the Linksys WRT310N but switched to the WRT54G because the 310N wasn't compatible with the Squeezebox. This product has way too many problems related to WiFi networking, and as much as I like it when it works, I'd never recommend it to anyone else - it's far too fragile when it comes to maintaining a reliable connection. -- jasondunn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasondunn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20914 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63920 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
