Same here. Neighbor got an Orbi and my radios started having wifi issues. Radio 1: Tried wlanpoke. It works ok, but when it resets the wifi connection I sometimes get a pause in the music and have to restart it. Also, the wlanpoke script seems to crash from time to time. I have it

I passed the power supply to the Vonets, then the Radio, as someone else here described, so there is no way to run the Vonets from the Radio battery pack, even if it could supply it. I saw the idea about using a power block, which I have a half-dozen or so as party favors and from gift bags. I

Hello, I am struggling with the same WiFi issue and am intrigued by your use of a Vonets AP11G-300 to solve the issue. I am wondering if you can offer any practical tips for how you set this up. Are you able to draw power from the battery so that your radio remains mobile? Did you somehow

On occasion, on the built-in WiFi, I would get "waiting to connect' when trying to sync the Radio to a Boom. There is a bit of a disco light show at night from the Vonets. I read where people pull it apart to tape over the LEDs. I'm sort of burying it, behind the Radio, in all the cabling, so

My SB Radio (an upgraded UE) has gone from having the red WiFi icon three or so times a week, to every morning and every evening for the most recent couple of weeks. The Network reconnect spinner and reconnect options show it is still connected to my network, but fails at the sb.com step. I

You might be in luck - but it depends on why your device is failing. If it is a hardware problem then ... new firmware (etc) probably will not fix it. However, if you convert it from a UE Smart Radio to a Squeezebox Radio (link to come) AND you run Logitech Media Server (LMS) on your home
