Yes, try wired connection first to make sure it's not the router. Do you have other devices that work fine through the router? Other things to try: - reboot into safe mode and see whether wifi works there - try to download and install a wifi driver from your manufacturer.

Possibly gateway ip address has not been set up. Run ipconfig in a command prompt window and look at interface subnet mask and gateway address and see if they are sensible. If unsure how to read it - copy the output to a file (e.g. ipconfig output.txt ) and attach it to a post

Do the aiff files have any tags ? that would enable LMS to built a proper dB when scanning and the much faster artist / album / genre menus would start working properly . But they rely on proper metadata in the files themself . and search to uses the dB it probably eventually go for file names
