Hello all, I've just bought a second-hand Squeezebox Classic. I already had one, which has worked flawlessly for years and which I love.
They're both apparently the same model; but the 'new' one I've just bought won't connect to my wireless networks. I posted about this yesterday at the Logitech Forums but I've had no response. Thing is, these are SlimDevices SBs, so I hope you won't mind me posing one question that's really puzzling me again here. It's this: I've noticed a VERY strange thing: the 'new' Squeezebox looks exactly like my 'old' Squeezebox, and the label on the bottom of it states that it's version 3. Both this label and the original manufacturer's box in which I received it have the same MAC address printed on them. BUT, when I connect it by wired Ethernet (yes, that works), the 'Player' tab in Logitech Media Server (version 7.7.2), states 'Player Model: Squeezebox2' and has a completely different MAC address. It also shows a little picture of the connected device, which looks like an older, pre-wireless SB, the squat model. Is it possible that somebody has transplanted some or all of the parts of a Squeezebox 2 into a version 3? If so, I need to take this up with the seller as soon as possible. I'm thinking of sending the thing back to him anyway. While I'm at it, I may as well describe the connection problem I'm experiencing: I have two wireless networks at home, one broadcast by my ISP's wireless router (Technicolor TG582n) and one by an additional, daisy-chained router (Belkin Wireless G) left over from a previous set-up but still in use. In fact, all wireless devices in the house are connected to the Belkin, including my original Squeezebox Classic. The 'new' Squeezebox Classic, which I've just bought, sees both network SSIDs but won't connect to either of them wirelessly (the error message is 'Can't connect to wireless network'). As I say, it connects via Ethernet without any problem and, once connected, has updated its FW to 137. I've done several factory resets and reprogrammed the xilinx chip. I've moved the Squeezebox around. I've disconnected the other Squeezebox. Nothing makes this second Squeezebox connect wirelessly. Are there any more diagnostic tests that, as a not very expert network user, I can do on the 'new' SB to see what's up? Any advice gratefully received! Many thanks, Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HistoricalNick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62474 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100916 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
