Interesting. So, maybe it could not just be "what channel", but the event of the channel change itself (your touch dropped off on the change). I am wondering if you have looked at what the network congestion looks like near your players? I use an android app called wifi analyzer. I'm quite rural. Here is the shot near my touch, about 30' from my router, and you can see my neighbor's network (tate). I have no idea where his router is, but it's at least 2-3 walls and 50-100' away. We are playing nice on different channels :) sorry for the huge image, I used to have a windows app to resize...maybe not anymore... 37550 Jim +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Screenshot_20220323-112557.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37550| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116136 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
