I am not treating you like an idiot. Different people have different knowledge base and skills. I don't know your level. Other contributors skills and knowledge are much better than mine. However, I am reasonably good at the steps of problem solving. The key item I see in this response is that ethernet is working, and for the Radios using Wifi they will reconnect after rebooting, but then go red and disconnect. That is a classic symptom of the interference problem caused by the WiFi6 standard on new routers. The interference is not necessarily from your router, but it can be from a neighbor's router that uses WiFi 6. This is a problem limited to the Radios as the Touch uses a different Wi-Fi chip. As I mentioned in my earlier post, a stable connection to the router is the first step; without that trying to resolve problems with connecting to LMS or MYSB, using spotty or whatever will be frustrating as the connectivity is unstable. Logging into the router to confirm the Radio connects can be helpful in this step. You mentioned in another post you have Cat5, which does support ethernet. I recommend using ethernet because it eliminates problems with WiFi. (If you do not have enough ethernet ports on your router, you will need to get an ethernet switch, but don't go out and buy one yet until a solution is sorted out.) Did you recently replace your wifi router? If yes, investigate if the Wifi6 standard can be turned off. (I have an ASUS router and I have turned off WiFi6 on the 2.4 band.) One person said that a factory reset is needed for switching between ethernet and Wifi. I have found that is not required. Factory reset should be last resort as entering passwords is a pain in the A@%! However, if i recall correctly, it requires going into advance settings to find the network settings to switch between using ethernet and Wifi. At this point, I recommend getting at least 1 Radio using ethernet working properly with MySB.Com. Then get the remaining Radios working via ethernet. This way you will know the mySB.com user id and password is entered correctly. Next step will be sorting out how to get LMS working with your older Mac, as Michael Herger mentioned. (I cannot help you on this, no experience.) Once the system works well using ethernet, then try WiF, and if unstable, then you might need the Wifi to ethernet bridge solution. I don't use spotty and cannot offer help. In any case, that is the last item on the list to sort out.
