Re: [slim] network issue - need some help and advice
The WiFi analyzer will probably not tell you anything useful in trying to solve this problem, and I doubt it has anything to do with WiFi at all. Any chance you could log on to the Pi and check CPU load when you have your TV connected to the LAN. Perhaps the TV for some reason is pelting your Pi with so much traffic that it can't keep up with serving your Squeezeboxes. alfista's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103509 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The homeplug is a good 12 feet from the tv if you mean proximity interference? Also its not the tv being on that's the issue because If i unplug the lan cable bit keep the tv on the interference goes. The pi server is in the loft as is the nas with my content (At the other end of the homeplug ) I could bring the pi downstairs to test. .

Re: [slim] network issue - need some help and advice
don't know, but can you put a homeplug near the TV and connected it via that rather than using the TV with WIFI? *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) LMS 7.8 Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) LMS 7.8 Touch Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) LMS 7.9 Squeezelite *Spares:* Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 iPadAir2 (iPeng8 Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103509 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Tried different port etc but it seems as if when the tv is plugged in (not even using smart features like iplayer etc) it overloads the router and the wifi slows. ..this is then felt most by my sbs which are streaming via wifi.

Mnyb wrote: No it should not , the TV is still connected to the wifi at the same time as its connected via ethernet . do you have buffering on local files too ? , not only internet radio . Check so that you dont get into any ip address conflicts . if you use static ip somewhere make sure that the routers dhcp does include those addresses (there is usually a range setting ) The tv has no wifi ..no dongle and not built in on my model. Less so with local but browsing using squeeze commander and the ui on boom and duet control are all very laggy and slow which makes me thing it's less about streaming and more about the network. Have some static ip setup but not sure about conflicts. Checked in router ui and can't see any. Will investigate Cheers Giza2020's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103509 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
