Controller does one thing SP could never do, that is conecting to the reciever directly via ad-hoc mode wifi, not involving the router, hence SP based setup don't work in all situations the sbr must have a previus somewhat working conection to ever be seen by SP so that is not a complete solution. radio or Touch do have their own radio's so possible if lug your radio close to the reciver, the ad- hoc conection has less range.
sbr does not in general looses it settings ? Just because you upgrade the server, maybe a fw upgrade to the sbr itself but also not a common problem. You are 100% sure no one pressed the button ;) . If the the led was blue it had working network settings btw . Other possible malfunctions, the locla sbs server has no mysb.com conection or credentials so it cant log on to see player there, therefore not fetch it back. The player is in some limbo left hangin not conected to either sbs or mysb.com restart can help, but if mysb.com conection is broken and player want's to go there, there is really only the controller that can tell it to change server, ipeng can't in this or similar situations, so sometimes you must have a controller even if all settings are ok. If you don't have a controller the only way out of such snag is to reset it and force it to where you want it with net:: udap . So all user that runs the sbr can still find themselfs in situations only solvable with a controller, even if it's settings are intact and you have web- UI or iPeng . It does not help that several version of ss/ sc/ sbs has or had problems with fetching players from mysb.com . I think 7.6 beta has or had such bug recently ? So don't ebay the controller even if You never use it. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
