Re: [slim] FNG. Old Touch. Unable my music Any help appreciated.
In short, to use a networked music player, you need a working network, start with getting that sorted before you do any more troubleshooting on your Squeezebox system. I assume your No 1 router is the one connected to your modem or equivalent on its WAN side and that you then have a wired connection to your PC on the LAN, if so that's pretty much the best practice. If the WiFi part of that router doesn't provide enough signal for your premises there are a few methods to improve coverage. The best method is to add access point(s) where signal is weak. The access point may be a dedicated device, or you may configure a router with WiFi to act as an access point. This is then connected via wire to your router. A different method would be to use WiFi repeaters or range extenders, yet another would be to use powerline ethernet adapters to set up a wired connection to your Touch, but it gets increasingly hit-and-miss the further you stray from the proven solutions. If you have 2nd router wired to your No 1 router I suggest to check if it can be setup as an access point, at a minimum you should disable DHCP on it. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103300 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] FNG. Old Touch. Unable my music Any help appreciated.
Clearly I'm in over my head. I reintroduced the Touch to the No. 1 router, which is plugged directly into the PC. While it works, it seems to have a tendency to lose the signal and drop off. I travel a LOT and I have only used the unit a few hours since I got it working. What do you guys recommend that I do next to try and resole this mess? Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Re: [slim] FNG. Old Touch. Unable my music Any help appreciated.
The second was plugged into the first. I used a 20 foot ethernet cable and moved it to a more central location in the house. The first had very limited range. So, yes one network. I can't answer your IP question. Now however, the Touch will stop playing from My Music. I walk over and it says it can't pick up the signal and tells me to make sure that LMS is running. Well, it IS running. Sothis is frustrating. The damn thing used to work great. I can switch to Pandora and it fires right up.

It's usually referred to as an access point, hopefully the new router can easily be configured in that mode. Either that or setting the original router in bridged mode and disable the WiFi on that.

If LMS is running an a box of some kind you can access it from another computer on the same network by opening a browser on that computer and entering, say, 192.168.1.21:9000. Where 192.168.1.21 is the IP address of the box on which LMS is running - replace it with the IP address of your PC.

FIXED!!! I added a second router to improve my wifi signal. The Touch will see the new router, and clearly is capable of streaming radio and Pandora off of it, but it won't talk to my PC over it. I have no idea why. I was rummaging around on the Logitech site and saw something about multiple routers. So, switched the network on the Touch and had it use the old one.
