This, and the other poster's suggestions, have helped me isolate the problem. Here's what I did: 1. I found out that right next to the huge antennas of my wireless access point there was a mains cable. It probably caused pretty bad interference. I moved the cable away from the access point and this helped ensure stable connections on laptops connecting to it. However, no luck with the squeezebox, which still behaved erraticly. Strangely enough the rebuffering problem is no longer, but now the squeezebox controller is constantly prompting me to change the library because it can't find the server. Usually I don't even have enough time to browse to a track I want to hear before the menu structure is reset and I'm prompted to switch to another library. 2. So I decided to connect the receiver with an ethernet cable to my router. When resetting the controller and the receiver and setting the whole thing up again, the SB prompted me to connect using the SB player or a wireless network. I connected through the player and now everything works like a charm. Once set up, I can also use the web remote control interface on the server to play music. Response is very snappy - no delays, interruptions or anything like that. So it looks like things are fixed, as long as I don't use the access point. Either wireless connection through the player (with limited range), or remote web control from my computer work very well again. -- kunlun121 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kunlun121's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18101 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
