Hi there, been on and posting more just recently in a fit of SB enthusiasm. Tonight it's all gone a bit pear-shaped, though I suspect it's not actually going to be an LMS or SB issue at the end of the day.
To start with I'd been listening to one of the players in the lounge, switched off to come through to the bedroom, and literally a minute or two later, tried to connect the player there (SB3). It wouldn't connect. It had been working just a couple of hours before, and had successfully done a WOL to the server, (which has been the positive achievement of the last couple of days). I tried to get it to connect several times and eventually power cycled and factory reset it. Still no joy, so I rebooted the PC and the router. At this point 5 other players disappeared leaving just one connected. I also think that the SSID might have changed with the router re-boot, as it shows up as default 'NETGEAR' in the windows network and sharing centre... (-but.. The ipad still has the original SSID showing...?)- The network is still working OK to some degree as the ipad was - and still is - connecting. The player that's still connecting is a Boom - and prior to my harmonising all my kit with one SSID a few months back, it had been connecting to a 'Netgear' SSID - perhaps it had retained that in its settings somewhere and just cycled back to that? Also, one of the players, a Touch, which is ethernet connected via 'powerline extenders', doesn't show up on LMS; on Squeezepad; or the Logitech Squeezebox app, but it does show up on the netgear network map utility. It might end up being a new router. Before I factory reset that to see if it makes any difference, I'll need to find all my ISP details and settings, but it's too late here tonight to start messing around with this, and I have an early flight. I can see a couple of potential solutions if it's the router, including buying one that's less basic, and maybe with better range, to avoid me having to use the powerline adapters i currently have set up. Like others I suspect, the network was set up to do simple stuff, and as times have moved on, with more wifi & other devices, it's maybe getting a bit stretched. the router is a netgear DG834, probably about 5 or 6 years old. To quite a degree, I feel that perhaps I'd be taking advantage a bit in asking for help for generic computer questions on a platform-specific forum. So can anyone recommend any good 'computer basic' forums where people deal with each other as adults? I'd love to get advice here, as it seems to me to be a valuable source of experience, but I'd quite understand if it was too far from the "core business" of the forum. Please don't take that the wrong way, as I do appreciate how helpful folk here are.
