I have had both scenarios:
- clients linked to AP but won’t connect to LMS (I would guess that is
no IP address?)
- clients won’t to connect to AP at all

But what has always been consistent is that the clients will connect
fine to LMS if I take them and test plug them into ethernet on the
router, or if I plug them into powerline-based ethernet. 

It is when I try to connect the squeezeboxes via wifi that it all fails.


What’s bizarre is that at no point have I ever had a problem connecting
to LMS wirelessly via Squeezeplay on my laptops and desktops. 

So there is something that comes down to wifi on the SB  hardware units.
And it is very inconsistent as occasionally they work and then mostly
they don’t. But they all seem to work or not work at the same time
together.



I will try the XpressTM Technologything
