[slim] Finally Sold My Treasured Squeezebox Setup :(
Well, I have been hanging on for quite a while now... And I had a LOT invested in the Squeezebox platform... But sadly, it was time for me to part with my treasured Squeezeboxes... :( Truth be told, I decommissioned my Squeezebox setup years ago, and this hardware was just sitting around collecting dust and losing value. For those of you who are curious on what I was able to get for my Squeezeboxes in the open market, I will share with you what I was able to cost recover through eBay. - Squeezebox Boom #1 - $100.00 - SqueezeBox Boom #2 - $100.00 - SqueezeBox Boom #3 - $85.00 - SqueezeBox Boom #4 - $102.00 - SqueezeBox Boom #5 - $90.00 - Squeezebox Duet (Receiver/Remote Combo) #1 - $160.00 - SqueezeBox Duet (Receiver/Remote Combo) #2 - $160.00 - SqueezeBox Receiver (Extra for Duet Setup) - $70.00 - SqueezeBox Boom Remote (New Spare) - $25.00 All of the above selling prices are "shipped" prices, so they all need to be reduced to consider eBay Fees (10%), PayPal Fees (2.5%), and shipping. The duets cost me around $14.00 to ship, and the Booms cost me around $20.00 to ship. Good luck to everyone... I enjoyed my Squeezebox set-up, but unfortunately, it is just time to move on... :( SqueezeCenter Running on HP EX485 MediaSmart Server (WHS) - 2 SqueezeBox Controllers - 3 SqueezeBox Receiver - 5 SqueezeBox Booms MikeekiM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19937 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110742 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

On the Arris router, I'd set up reserved IP addresses for both Duet units (and for any PC that might later be used to run LMS). Here are instructions for a similar unit: https://arris.secure.force.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/TG862G-NA-IP-Address-Reserve-Setup/ Also, since he's using wifi I'd check to be sure his router is set to the least-congested channel 1, 6, or 11.

(Also gets him started on ripping.)

Thanks for the guidance. I'll go over there and work through all of this with him, and get back to you within a few days, stay tuned. I am pretty sure his modem/router is the ISP supplied gateway - Arris NVG4438. We both have it, but I have disabled the radios and added an Asus router. So, the router and of course building type is what's different in our setups. Mine is a small cabin, very open, his his more of a house (walls for wifi to travel through). I'll double check that this is his router. I would recommend he add an external router, which I know would improve his wifi, but I hate to ask him to spend $ only to find it doesn't help/solve his situation, or even to provide modest wifi improvement with his other devices. A couple points in reading your recommendations above: 1) The system is Duet, receiver and controller, which are both seperate wifi devices, so I should be looking for two ip addresses I believe. I suppose they should both respond to a ping if they are up and happy. 2) I imagine the fact that it is a Duet causes me to need to find out that in it's non functional state, which one is not happy with the other. I suppose that we can do that both with a ping, and with the remote control on mySB.com (e.g. can that control the receiver?) 3) The ISP and wifi are bound to be fine when pinged, but that doesn't mean a drop/restore hasn't happened which caused the duet (receiver or controller) to lose it's way and get into the locked up condition.

When the connection fails run a ping from your friends PC to the radio Start / Run / Cmd ping 192.168.1.x or whatever the Radio is if it responds then you know the wi-fi is up if it fails then the Radio has probably lost wi-fi connection Then ping www.bbc.uk If it responds then you know the Internet is up If it doesn't respond it could only be DNS that is failing so Then ping 212.58.249.212 This is a BBC server address If that works but www.bbc.co.uk fails then it is DNS DNS will almost certainly be handled by your friends router Based on what you have said it could be any one or all of the three issues but it definitely is not a mysb.com issue.
