Description Adrian 2010-01-27 16:56:54 UTC

Running 7.4.1/r7915.  SBR generally fails to connect to Squeezebox Server over the wi-fi connection.  SBR  WILL connect to server over wired ethernet connections and WILL connect to mysqueezebox.com over both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.  Tried with both BT Home Hub and Linksys WRT54G as wi-fi router ith no success.  Also tried serveral different channels on Wi-Fi router.

Just ccasionally SBR may connect to server over wi-fi but if it does the connection is constantly (maybe every 30 seconds) re-syncing.  Does not make any difference if the SBR is physically close to or far away from the router.

mysqueezebox.com is really just a Squeezebox Server with a fancy UI.  I would suspect some kind of routing problem on your network where the device can't "see" the server.

However if you've tried two routers, surely they wouldn't have the same routing problem.

Have you tried contacting support to see if they have any advice?  We have quite a few users successfully using the Duet product with 7.4.1, so it doesn't seem likely it's a bug, or there would be a lot more comments and votes here.
