I've also had terrible luck getting consistent WiFi performance with my Radio. I typically use the Radio in my garage, at a location that is roughly equidistant between the router in my house and a wired access point in a backyard cottage. I use the same SSID on both WiFi signals, but have them set up on fixed channels (1 and 14 to keep them as far apart as possible). I noticed in my WiFi logs that the Radio was frequently connecting and disconnecting from the access point, so I even used MAC filtering on my home router to try to force the Radio to connect only with the access point (which is a little bit closer to the garage). The Radio will typically work for a while after being connected, but when it stops working, I often need to manually forget and reconfigure the wireless settings on the Radio to get it reconnected.
I think the problem is basically that the Radio uses an 11g receiver that is just not very reliable, especially with crowded 2.4 GHz signals. I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 3 (with 11n WiFi) to run with PiCorePlayer through powered speakers at the same location. That unit has had a rock solid connection with my access point for the last month. I'm hoping that I can still use the Radio when it's closer to one or the other of my WiFi access points, but I have given up trying to get it to work from the current location. Not sure this helps you in any way, but at least you know that you aren't the only one having WiFi problems with the Radio. (I think there have also been several posts here over the years about poor WiFi performance with the Radio.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DAR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106916 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
