Laptops and Signal Strength are not proof of a good or interference free WiFi Network. Never have been, never will be. Streaming Audio and Video are the two hardest things a WiFi network can do. So what if you drop a packet or two while surfing or doing email, it just gets resent as web and email are not "real time" dependent, streaming audio is. The reason Logitech keeps pointing at ones Network is that 95% of the problems are with ones own Network. All the other people that don't have problems would be having problems also if it were the Squeezebox or MYSB.com. It could be the Router, it could be the setup, it could be the ISP, it could be a program one loaded on the PC last week, it could be the WiFi channel selected, or interference. And the fact that her ports will not pass traffic, its most likely her Network or setup. It is illogical to claim that since it worked before its can't be her Router or ISP. That is like trying to say her car started 10 years ago the last time she used it, it should start now, even though the battery is now dead but its the same one and all the fuel has evaporated. If people are not willing to troubleshoot and provide information Forum Members ask for, then we can't help them. Using Ethernet cuts the problem in half. If it works with Ethernet, then we can eliminate that its a bad Squeezebox (other then WiFi Card), not the Internet, not the Server, not the Router. It basically puts it all on the WiFi setup or Squeezebox WiFi Card. By WiFi, I mean it could be interference, poor channel selection, bad card, bad WiFi router, improper setup, poor router placement selection. So the question again is is she going to answer the questions? What OS is the PC running? What version of SBS is running? What model and brand router is being used? What channel is the WiFi on? Is a Firewall being used? Is an active anti-virus running? What are the three Squeezebox models and firmware version of each? -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83872 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
