Please do let me know if that works. I had two problems as outlined in the thread above. The first one was relating to the Squeezebox Server dropping the SBR connection and the current playlist being out of sync what is actually playing. This seems to be resolved by downgrading to 7.5.1. The 2nd problem of poor wifi performance: a combination of poor RF performance of the SBR (as compared to its SB3 cousins) -- and my relatively noisy WiFi environment. I purchased a TP-Link AP/Bridge: 1) Used as a bridge.....I got my single strength up significantly ...and things are 98% good. Proving again, the SBR wifi is..well suboptimal. But with 3 Squeezeboxes and numerous other devices (PCs, phones, iPADs) on the same frequency ...there were times where congestion was starting to hurt the SBR. 2) I converted the TP-Link to AP mode...and setup another SSID (802.11n) in a non-overlapping extreme end of the frequency choices (which happened to be the cleanest channel anyways). Extremely surprisingly, the SBR consistently continued to drop connections -- once every 3 or 4 hours. Then I remembered what another post discussed, as implausible as it may seem.... to set the AP to 802.11g mode only -- as the SBR has issues with "n". I always understood this to be backward compatible....but I tried it knowing the many surprises the SBR has had for me so far. So far....running a 802.11g AP keeps the SBR holding on ...so far for 48 hours. So this seems to work. Time will tell. Regardless...I am not happy with the radio performance or overall quality of the Squeezebox Server/SBR integration. But when it is working... it is nice...just not with the time and $$ I have invested. -- jt25741 SB3->AR Masters Coax -> PS Audio DLIII (Cullen L3) -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio P-5 -> Cardas Golden Reference XLR -> Sim Audio W-5 -> Cardas Golden Reference Hi-Mid,PS Audio Xstream Plus Low-> Magnepan 3.6R ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jt25741's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87339 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
