I've been experiencing wi-fi connection issues with my Radios and I thought I'd document my particular solution.
I have two Radios which are synchronised as a L/R pair. Their wi-fi connectivity is generally good, although the one that is furthest away from the router occasionally needs a repair. I decided I would update to the Community firmware a couple of days ago. After the update both Radios would not keep a connection to wi-fi. After a reboot, they would quickly show a blue wi-fi icon, then a red icon, within a few minutes of the reboot. The Radios would also sometimes lockup and display a system error message on reboot. This happened even when I moved both Radios next to my TP-Link AX6000 router. I assumed that this was an issue with the Community firmware so reverted back to stock firmware. I had to do this using an ethernet connection as the wi-fi was unusable. Even on ethernet one of my radios locked up. After I had reverted the issue still remained, which wasn't what I had expected. With stock firmware I didn't see a blue wi-fi icon, it went straight to red. I then started reading some threads on the forum and found the information about connectivity issues and POMDev's wlanpoke script. I gleaned from the forum that the culprit seemed to be other wi-fi devices, possibly ax devices. I then noticed that there was a new SSID in my list of available connections on my phone called MESH_2. I live in a terraced house and the neighbours on one side have recently moved out so there is no wireless network on that side. I know the SSID of the other side's network and that was the same and I would be very surprised if it had changed. I then remembered that I had upgraded the firmware on my TP-Link AX6000 router recently and the Radio wi-fi connection issues had only happened after that. The updated version of the firmware v1.2.1 adds a feature called OneMesh which is enabled by default. It is possible to disable OneMesh, so that is what I did. As a result the Radios connected flawlessly and have been playing successfully for an hour, so back to working as I would expect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ badboygolf16v's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19486 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
