As mentioned already, the WAP is just that... an access point. It is not being used as a router. Thus I could not see why unplugging that would make any difference except possibly with the wireless Squeezebox but certainly not with the wired ones that don't touch it. I certainly know how easy it is to unplug a router and also know how to re-initialize the Squeezebox. Not an issue. I am more than willing to reboot a device... I was asking for clarification as to how rebooting the WAP would make any difference here. I can certainly reboot my wired router -- tonymuffin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tonymuffin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23389 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
