Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection
I pulled out my Touch recently and it would not hold a wireless connection on my Orbi network. A few days ago, I deleted the EDO plug in from the Touch (don't need it anymore) and updated to the latest Orbi FW. My Touch has been solid on wifi for the past 48+ hours. FWIW - be sure you are running the latest Orbi FW, and ditch EDO if you don't need it. ismarketing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30585 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112500 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Set up one yesterday, and connection maintained on SB Radio via ethernet for over 12 hrs, so I'll call this a success. I'll get more VAP11G-300 for my other Radios, and hopefully there's not an issue with multiple VAP11G-300's (Wish I could get the SB Radio wireless working though) Things of note: Setup of VAP11G-300 is simple, but instructions could be better. No need for a 'hotspot', so disable on the VAP11G-300. Lights are BRIGHT. Can't just tape over, as it will block the vents, and anyway, the lights still bleed through the case Need to pop open the VAP11G-300 case (easy, it's just press fit), and place a small bit of electric tape over the LED's on the VAP11G-300 board.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection
i've had the exact same issue with 2 Touches and eero. server was a PiCP. i've finally hardwired one of them to an eero, but it's not possible with the other. eero support, which is typically quite good, was particularly lame on this issue. -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112500 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection
I stand defeated. Tried everything I could think of, suggested on this forum, and exhausted google. After 15 minutes of so of non-activity, my 4 SB Radio disconnects from WiFi (but not my Touch, go figure), But if playing, I sometimes get an hour or more before it disconnects. Reboot fixes it, so looks like my only solution is to re-boot. :-( Tony SBTouch ♪ SBRadio ♬ Tony T's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112500 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection
While I have no problem with my Radio with a Netgear Orbi - I have always turned off as many of the "new" features such as bonding. The alternate approach is to use Ethernet socket of radio and a nano/travel router in reverse client mode (i.e. Wifi to Ethernet) such as those from TP-link or GL.inet. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112500 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Thanks. I'll take a look at that thread. Problem with Google WiFi is that AFAIK, there is no way to set a fixed channel. I'm not adverse to trying another router.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Squeezebox Radio and Google WiFi Mesh dropping connection
I'm wondering now if this is a macOS Catalina issue (not sure if Apple pushed a software update). Weird that my Squeezebox Touch is not having an issue, but the SB Radio's are. Anyway, I've been considering switching from my mac-mini to piCorePlayer, so might as well do it now. (Been using piCorePlayer in a vacation home for a few years, so I know how great it is).
