Need a little help with Squeezebox Duet.


I have a wireless Linksys 2.4GHz router and just received a Squeezebox last night. When trying to play any content weather a ripped lossless, aiff, flac file or internet radio the unit is interrupted with buffering. I am guessing this would be a speed issue (“guessing” as I am not very savvy with a computer).
My question: Is my router not up to snuff or is something else not woring properly? This issue happens both with a hardwired connection from router to squeezebox and with wireless. I would be grateful for any help as the Logitech web site and owner’s manual is not much help at least for me. Thanks T. J.

TJ, I find this happens rarely, but sometimes with my Squeezebox Duet. To start off, I would suggest going to their own forum page/their website for more responses.

When I find this happening I have taken two approaches to address it with success:

#1: I shut everything down and then start everything back up again. The home computer, the wireless router, the squeezebox - everything. Most of the time this takes care of it.

#2: If #1 didn't take care of it, I find that from my handset (SB-D) I tell it to check for and do a software update. Typically it comes back and says I have the most current, but gives me the option to re-download it. Doing this has always corrected the problem for me when step 1 above doesn't work.

This being said, it is possible that it is a speed issue, but surprisingly the Duet isn't very demanding in this area. Secondly, go into settings and increase the buffering amount to the max (if you haven't already done so).

I have Comcrap internet which is supposed to be really fast! Yeah, maybe if the rest of the people in the world weren't already connected to their overtaxed infrastructure in my area. Even as bad as ComCrap is, I rarely run into this problem. My wireless router is 8 years old! It has no problem keeping up.
