I had been having some problems with my Transporter connected wirelessly to my network; it was unable to receive an IP address via DCHP, and it couldn't play Internet Radio (it would say it was connected, but couldn't complete buffering of the stations). Then, over the last week, it seemed like the TP was dropping off the network every 30-40 seconds. Network strength was being consistently reported as 85%+, but it kept dropping. The odd thing was that my SB2 was having no problems at all, so I was pretty sure it couldn't have been my router.
That said, my broadband provider (Verizon FIOS) had recently changed router brands; they had given me a D-Link last year that had firmware dated 1995, and in the last few months, they were distributing ActionTec routers. So I decided to upgrade routers to see what happened. Wow...what a difference! Without changing anything asides from my router, the Transporter is now able to receive IP addresses via DHCP, I can get Internet Radio...and beyond that, there is no sluggishness in using the remote to navigate my music library whatsoever (a problem I did have with the old router). So...it appears that the router does play a role in how well things work... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35855 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
