Thanks for the tips - I will continue to experiment. It's odd that this one player/location has a poor signal level as it's in the room directly above the router - so only a plaster ceiling and some wooden floorboards in the way. The connection is generally strong, but something is definitely happening to murder it from time to time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stevedresden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36189 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
