Since moving house and now needing to have 2 wireless routers to get wireless coverage in all rooms (some bright spark has made a kitchen wall impenetrable to wireless signals) I have issues moving the radio around. Once it is connected tot he server on one wireless router, if I move it to the other wireless router it connects to the router, but promptly loses connection to my Home SqueezeBox server. After a few minutes of telling it to reconnect it gets the idea and communicates to the squeezebox server and thus can be used again.
Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long to reestablish connection to the home server and thus be usable, is it a router/switch router/arp caching issue or the squeezebox home server software? Setup: The radio is linked to my local squeezebox server running on a mini pc that is connected to the master router. The master router has the adsl line, DHCP enabled and a wireless signal. The secondary router has DHCP disabled and a wireless signal. The 2 routers are connected by an Ethernet wire running from standard lan ports on both. Both have the same SSID and password, but are on different channels (1 & 6). The 2 SSIDS are hidden by default, but being shown seems to have no effect on this. The radio has a static ip address as a legacy setting due to the below note. Note: I have 2 routers as one has a firmware issue around DHCP and wireless being enabled together. So I use this dodgy one as the secondary with DHCP disabled on it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Muppet9010's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=55911 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94914 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
