I tried the first step several days ago. I think I did it correctly. I ran an Ethernet cable from the old router's internet connection port to a non-internet connection port on the new router. The old router had been set up with a different network name (although both used IP 192.168.1.1 for their respective networks). I was able to get both Touches (via Wi-Fi) and my LMS server computer (via Ethernet) connected on the old network using that name. My problem was that the new router kept dropping the Internet connection intermittently. I don't think it was a channel issue. I examined channel usage with Acrylic and configured the new router to use channel 3, which didn't seem to get much use. My old router was using 6 as I recall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john greenwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106233 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
