Re: [slim] Synch issues
I attempted to reset it following the above, latest idea but my config setup (on the Apple wizard) was slightly different and had no luck. My latest salvo was to remove the antenna's off the back of the Verizon Modem/Router.Rube Goldberg at its best! But, this morning when I went to fire it up, there was only ONE wifi signal present. Hopefully, this work around will keep the Touch and the Airport Extreme - Airport Express in synch.I'll let you know if this works, after repeated attempts.

Re: [slim] Synch issues
I figure that you're right. I'll get the folks from Verizon Tech Support on the phone and see if they can walk me through shutting down the IP on that one and just use the (far superior) signal off the Apple Extreme and Express combo. I'll spend some more time on the APPLE site as well.

Re: [slim] Synch issues
Thank you Gary, For starters, my Verizon Modem /Router is quite weak and I get a lousy wifi signal in some of the house and none in other areas. I has to shoot its signal through a large air handling unit for the heat pump and isn't located in the middle of the house. That's why I need to run a second. There are 4 yellow ethernet ports labelled LAN and one white ethernet port labelled WAN on the router. The guy who installed the FIOS system ran one LAN cable to my PC. I then added a 25 foot ethernet cable to a second LAN port on the same FIOS modem. That cable feeds the airport extreme. (I use an airport express to stream music to a second stereo setupthat too has connection issues) I suspect from what you have advised that this is incorrect and is the first thing I need to address. Sometimes it works, but not always as I mentioned in my first post.

[slim] Synch issues
My Touch and my PC seem to be having a torrid affair. When its good, its great. And when its notwell it sucks. I continually have to run to my pc (upstairs and far away) and reboot LMS in order for my touch to play... OR, I have to go into settings - advanced - networking - and reintroduce my Touch to the proper network. Sometimes that works. I am running a standard Verizon Router/Modem. This week I added an APPLE airport extreme and while that helped a little, its not perfect. Any ideas?

Re: [slim] Synch issues
OK. I am trying to reset the Airport Extreme now. I just found the following instructionDo you think that this method might work? ___ All FAQs Verizon Online FiOS FAQ 3.0 Networking This Section Can I network/share my FiOS connection? Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router? Does Verizon business FIOS (Static IP) use subnetting? Do I have to use the supplied router with Verizon FiOS? How do I replace my MoCA-connected Actiontec router and still get VOD What are the tradeoffs between the various router configurations Can coax and cat5 be active at the same time? Can I use my own router as primary and keep remote DVR Three router solution - Take 2 How Can I Run Multiple Parallel Routers Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router? Most definitely. Using more than one router allows you to put your wireless router's antenna where it will best cover your house or property; allows you to use the printer port; allows you to hard-wire more than 4 ethernet devices into your LAN. These instructions leave your Actiontec router as primary. Your secondary router will connect LAN-to-LAN (wired) to the Actiontec, so it will simply act as a switch. The Actiontec will handle DHCP. All of these steps use your PC connected wired to the routers. Do not connect the secondary router to the Actiontec until instructed below. Here's how: First, set up the primary router: 1. To start with a simple configuration, disconnect or power off all devices connected to the Actiontec except the computer used to configure it. Reset the Actiontec to its default configuration by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds. Note that this will delete all port forwards and filter rules you may have already established. You may want to make notes of your existing config before resetting to default. The default Actiontec router address is 192.168.1.1. Point your browser to the login page. 2. When reset, the Actiontec will boot up and ask you to set a password. It is suggested it be something different than password or password1. I use 8 characters in an alpha/number mix. Make sure you can connect to the internet. This verifies primary router connectivity. 3. Click on My Network icon, click Network Connections, then Network (Home/Office), then click Settings button. Change the DHCP address range by scrolling down to locate IP Address Distribution. Verify DHCP Server is selected in the dropdown box. Set the Start IP Address to 192.168.1.11, and leave the Ending IP Address at 192.168.1.254. You can use a different start or end address. I selected .11 because I want to have several, but not too many addresses I can use as static addresses. The secondary router will be one of them. Click Apply, wait for the Actiontec to reconfig, then click Apply again to make it stick. 4. If you intend your secondary router to handle all the wireless connections, you may choose to disable the Actiontec Wireless. This might be the case if, for instance, your secondary router is Wireless-N. Disable Actiontec Wireless by clicking Wireless Settings icon, then click Basic Security Settings. Click item 1. Wireless Radio to Off. Then click Apply, wait for the Actiontec to reconfig, then click Apply. 5. Verify Internet connectivity, then shut off your PC. Next, set up your router as secondary 6. Unplug your PC's wired connection from the Actiontec LAN port, then plug it into a LAN port on your secondary router. Make sure the secondary router WAN port is not connected to anything. Boot up your PC and the router and log into your secondary router's interface. 7. You should be able to login with a login and a password. If you are unable to, you may have to resort to a hard reset on the secondary router and use the operator's manual to determine the default login and password. Please note that routers from different manufacturers will vary in their default settings and interface. If your PC is set to get a LAN address automatically, you can determine your IP address by typing "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes) at a command prompt, then press Enter. You should be able to log in to your secondary router at "http://192.168.1.1; or by using your LAN IP address with .1 as the last octet. 8. Once logged in, ignore the router's Internet settings because the WAN port is not used. You need to change its Network Settings to set the Router IP address to 192.168.1.2 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. 9. Also, it's very important to Disable DHCP Server. On my secondary router after I made those changes, I needed to Save Settings. Finally, connect secondary router to Actiontec 10. Then I connected a patch cable from a LAN port on the Actiontec to a LAN port on the secondary router, and clicked Reboot Now. Instructions for your router may vary. After the secondary router reboot, reboot

alfista wrote: In short, to use a networked music player, you need a working network, start with getting that sorted before you do any more troubleshooting on your Squeezebox system. I assume your No 1 router is the one connected to your modem or equivalent on its WAN side and that you then have a wired connection to your PC on the LAN, if so that's pretty much the best practice. YES, this is how my system starts If the WiFi part of that router doesn't provide enough signal for your premises there are a few methods to improve coverage. The best method is to add access point(s) where signal is weak. The access point may be a dedicated device, or you may configure a router with WiFi to act as an access point. This is then connected via wire to your router. -It works OK for the Touch, but using a laptop in other areas of the house was impossible. That's why I added the 2nd wifi router- A different method would be to use WiFi repeaters or range extenders, yet another would be to use powerline ethernet adapters to set up a wired connection to your Touch, but it gets increasingly hit-and-miss the further you stray from the proven solutions. If you have 2nd router wired to your No 1 router I suggest to check if it can be setup as an access point, at a minimum you should disable DHCP on it. OK. Thanks. I have no idea what that means, but it gives me a starting point to troubleshoot and educate myself on. My verizon modem has 4 yellow ethernet ports and one white ethernet port, labeled WAN. I have the 2nd wifi modem plugged into one of the yellow ports. Shall I swap it to the white? Or am I just throwing darts? Thanks again for your input.

Greetings and thanks in advance. I have owned a Touch for about 6 or 7 years but just found this forum. The thing used to work like buttuh, perfect in other words. I use my wifi (used to anyway) to stream as opposed to a USB or other. About a year ago, while messing with my setup, I THINK I may have dorked up the connection between my PC (upstairs) and my Touch. It will still lock on and play internet based radio and Pandora. It will NOT however, locate and or display / play any of my music. I tried doing a full reboot of the device, reintroducing it to my router etc. I have dumped and reloaded the Music Server. I have used colorful language and tossed down a mess of bourbon, kicked the furniture, thrown stuff etc. Logitech support was no use. They had me do the same things over and over to no avail. I'm frustrated as you may imagine. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I think the problem is probably in my PC as opposed to my Touch. After all, it still steams music, just not MINE. I have a Terrabite of storage which is 80% music and the Touch was the perfect way to organize and access it.
