[SlimDevices: Radio] Squeeze Box Radio Connection

2022-11-15 Thread Traxz


I think I know the answer to this but looking for confirmation. 

Picked up a used Squeezebox radio a few months ago, firmware version
7.7.3 r16676. Factory reset it and connected it to my home wifi. Setup
some favorite radio stations on the memory buttons then took it to my
work for an office radio. Connected it to our guest wifi network and
have been streaming radio stations no problem the last couple months. 

I came back to work Monday and the wifi icon was red. Power cycled the
device several times, looked at the settings and the guest network shows
up with IP address etc. I then connected the device to my iphone hotspot
and it streamed radio fine (wifi icon was white). Tried connecting to
work's guest network and red again. I brought the device home and it
connects fine to my home network. Not sure if this is relevant, but work
uses Cisco access points. I am unable to use ethernet at work for a
guest network and wouldn't dare plug it into the work network.

My assumption now is that the device has been blocked from the guest
network or am I overlooking something else?

We had a brief power outage yesterday and my clock disappeared again. I
tried your method of stopping LMS and rebooting pCP and that worked
great! Thanks for the tip!

It worked on my SB Radio that had been limited to Squeezenetwork! Used
old computer as advised, with LMS 7.8. 
Thank you!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Recommendation for new Squeezebox Radio Battery

2022-11-15 Thread marzipan71


I used to use batteries - admittedly those bought via a major online
retailer and not OEM - and while they never went up in flames, they did
display some odd behaviour in that the radios would start up playing at
random times. Before I noticed this, I recommended batteries to a friend
with the same radios and they also experienced the same behaviour with
those same batteries. I assume this was something to do with the poor
quality of the batteries. Has anybody seen this behaviour? It put me off
batteries only because I was never sure of a quality brand to buy and
considering now maybe buying the above recommended German units.
