Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless

If you can't run a wire to the Nodes, here are a few things to look at:

- A better router
- A wireless repeater and/or Wireless Access Point
- Does your cable modem also have a wireless router?  If so, you might try turning it off.  If the devices connect to a different network than the one your PC is on, you won't "see" them.

I have two WAPs, one in my living room and one in my office and a repeater in my bedroom which is the furthest from my router and all my wireless devices stay connected.  My Comcast modem has a wireless router and I stay off that network.  There are speed test and network test apps you can run on your phone that will give you an idea of how good your wireless network is performing.

I have not had any issues with my BlueSound Node 2 dropping out, or any of my other streaming devices (Roku, Oppo, Marantz, etc.) since I upgraded my router a little over a year ago.  I spent about $200 on the router and that fixed a lot of issues I'd been having, other than devices sometimes not seeing each other because they auto-connected to a different SSID after a power or internet outage.  I can stream 4K content to the same location where my Node 2 is sitting.  It could be your Node, but I'd look elsewhere first.

@spatialking I have D-Link DIR-890LR router. The only thing in my house that is wired is my PC. I have a WAP in my office which is in the next room and another WAP in my living room where my main system is. It’s not very far from the router, maybe 20 feet. I have the repeater on the other side of the house in my bedroom. My laptops, tablets, TV, AVP, Oppos, BlueSounds, Roku, etc. all are wireless.

Signal strength is about -35 to -45 in all the locations where I have wireless devices. My PC is running Win 10 Pro.

I just picked up a used Node 2 and set it up in my bedroom last night and was listening to Sgt. Peppers MQA on Tidal with no issues.
