If you leave the SB for 20-30 seconds after it reboots from a network outage, it should automatically connect again using your last settings. There should be no need to reenter your settings if you just leave it alone. If you're not seeing this, and having frequent wireless reboots, this suggests a specific problem with your particular arrangement or a faulty SB, rather than a design issue. finger;236042 Wrote: > > 3.

It almost sounds to me as if your slimserver prefs aren't being remembered on startup. What is Slimserver running on, the laptop or something different? What OS? If you manually set the brightness for the SB using PlayerSettings/Display in the web interface, save settings, then reboot your router, does it still default back to Brightness=off? Appreciate your frustration and the need to vent, but it really doesn't sound to me like the specific problems you mention are design issues. Where I do agree with you is that the wireless implementation for the SB isn't always as reliable as (say) a laptop, but when you look at what the SB has to do in terms of streaming audio it's not so surprising... -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39421 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
