I have my SBR for just one week now and in most regards I'm very happy with the unit. My area of concern is the dropping of my connection to my wireless router at random times. It might stay connected for 36 hours and then disconnect 5 times in the next 24 hours - I can't say I see any particular pattern. It has happened during the night when all is quiet on my network.
The random disconnects concern me, but more worryingly is the fact that the SBR does not seem to automatically reconnect to the network when a disconnect happens. The disconnect is obvious by the red network icon and end of streaming. To reconnect I must power the unit off and on again (hard power off as opposed to soft power off), which seems to work every time. My setup is: SBR hardware version 5 with firmware version 7.4.1-r7915. Connected to Netgear WGR614 v9 wireless router with 64-bit WEP encryption - signal strength is consistently 80-90%. I connect either to SBS (Version: 7.4.1-r28947) running on a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo or, more commonly, to MSB. I have a SB2 and SB3 (both wireless) also being served by the same Netgear NAS on the same network and have never experienced network disconnects (or if I have I have never noticed as the SBs reconnect to the network automatically). The SBR's disconnects from, and failure to automatically reconnect to my network have me wondering if I have a defective unit or just a firmware revision that has this behaviour, which will hopefully be addressed at a later release. Or is it possible that I'm missing something else? -- zx80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zx80's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36093 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74406 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
