Thanks again guys,
I've changed to a fixed wifi channel - 6 - along with the other
settings. My cordless phones are old, and beginning to play up in other
ways, so probably makes sense to change them for newer tech.
I just thought I'd come back on the microwave thing though. A while back

Hi folks,
I went to bed last night, everything was hunkydory in squeezebox land.
Woke up this morning, and it's clear something's happened during the
night, because all the players can't connect. Its a Vortexbox, running
LMS 7.8 and a new-ish 'top end' Netgear router.
First of all I tried
Make sure your router wifi channel setting is set to an actual channel
and NOT automatic. Don't use a channel 11, even if available in your
part of the world. Use channel 1, 6, or 11 if possible. Also use a
channel that doesn't have any nearby users. Something like vistumbler or
inSSIDer will
Gary,
Thanks very much. I've had to come in to work (can't sit at home all day
trying to get my SBs to play - though it's very tempting!)
I'll have another run at it this evening.

The logging settings I mentioned are NOT the default. On your vortexbox,
have you set the IP address to static. You do this in VB webGUI
network settings. tick the static address box (instead of dhcp). Then
enter the relevant info. use an IP address outside your DHCP range (my
range starts at

further strengthening the network by relocating the router into the

Apologies for the profanities. I tried changing the VB details to static

local subnet mask was, I found 255.255.255.255 i.e. four times, rather
than 255.255.255.0. Now I can't login to my VB on the web interface

What can I say. A bit of wandering around the vortexbox forum and
guides, and lots of switching my monitor from PC to VB, I got that
sorted. Now it's just a case of restoring the rest of the network around
the static IPs.
On one hand, I think this is all caused by the SBs and find myself
blaming

Sorry if you've already explained this in one of your earlier threads,
but are _any_ of your SBs on a wired ethernet connection? If so, do they
suffer from the same connection problems, or is it only wifi? .
Ta. ItÂ’s powerline Ethernet. I have a Touch that struggles to connect
