Thanks Toby, I was just about to post a further edit to my last message, and saw you'd replied. The update is that, having let it sulk for an hour or so, I went back to the kitchen boom and it found an IP address this time, and connected fine. But, obviously I don't really think that this will be a stable position, and it's likely it or other players will lose connections. it seems to me that maybe the DCHP part of the router is playing up, so I've been studying the use of static IP addresses as recommended by some further up this discussion, and how I would go about implementing this. There's some of your specific suggestions that I'm not sure i could manage, but i do know that I don't have neighbour issues, and I'm fairly sure I haven't exceeded the number of devices as I've still got a few players disconnected/powered down, which have previously been on OK. I'd need to research which devices use G or n wifi - not something I'm really familiar with, but I have stuff as old as the orginal SB1s and as new as a 4th gen ipad, so I imagine they'll be using a mix of old and new tech. I will need to check the PC/LMS IP on start up and WOL, that sounds like it could be useful info., but as things are now working, it does suggest some sort of intermittent fault with DCHP doesn't it?
