[slim] Re: No Connection. Squeezbox. Netgear DG834N.
I also have the DG834N and find that the SB is not happy if the wireless mode is set to anything but 'g & b'. The SB will connect for a few seconds then drop, then connect, drop etc. etc. Try changing the mode to 'lowest' values. I'm sure it is a problem with the router rather than the SB :) -- bonze bonze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6150 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27967 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I did this for my Squeezebox and a PSP when I was only allowing certain devices to connect. I've since changed to a BT Home Hub to get higher download speeds, so that's all from memory.

Thanks Kevin. I'll give it a go tomorrow night and will post if it works, just in case anyone else has a similar problem.

The current firmware version for SB2/3 is 64 and there have been quite a number of bug fixes since firmware 48... I don't know off the top of my head whether any of them relate to your DG834N, but in any case, this would definitely be the first thing to address. Regarding the signal strength, the actual value of the signal strength doesn't really matter that much in most cases, but if it's bouncing around wildly that usually means you are experiencing RFI (possibly from 2.4GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens, or overlapping wireless networks). If this is the case, please see this guide: http://faq.slimdevices.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=2&id=91 Oh, one other thing. Under view current settings, make sure that the MAC address shown there matches the one printed on the label on the bottom of the unit. If it doesn't, you can press the right arrow on the remote to change it back to the factory assigned number. -- kevin Kevin Pearsall - Slim Devices Technical Support Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +1.650.210.9400 ext. 3 SB2->Bryston 4B-ST->Von Schweikert VR-2 // SB2->Rotel RSP-1066 & RMB-1075->B&W DM604S3 & Hsu VTF3mkII kevin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27967 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanx for the quick reply! I bought the box from a UK broadband equipment online shop. I'm currently not at home, but when looking through the "view current settings" section last night it showed firmware version as 48 & the wireless connection was fluctuating between 75% & 85%?? Does that make any sense in relation to my problem? I will happily see if updating the firmware will work, but just thought i'd throw these points in too!!! -- emkai emkai's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7708 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27967 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It sounds as if your SB has not actually connected to the network, but thinks it has. This happened sometimes with older firmware versions of the SB2/3. If possible, I'd recommend connecting via wired ethernet and connecting to your SlimServer to perform a firmware upgrade, and then try connecting wirelessly again. If the unit in question was purchased from a reseller (especially overseas) the likelihood of this solving the problem is very, very high. This is mostly due to the fact that overseas distribution channels are inherently 'laggy' for lack of a better word, and the firmware on your Squeezebox may be out of date. -- kevin Kevin Pearsall - Slim Devices Technical Support Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +1.650.210.9400 ext. 3 SB2->Bryston 4B-ST->Von Schweikert VR-2 // SB2->Rotel RSP-1066 & RMB-1075->B&W DM604S3 & Hsu VTF3mkII kevin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27967 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
