Auralic Aries Mini not connecting...

When it works, it sounds amazing, but I'm starting to get REALLY frustrated with it. I want to hardwire it (have a LAN connection within 4 feet of it) and no matter what I do, it defaults to wireless. I've tried to do a hard reset (middle+right) and nothing really changes. If I connect a computer to the LAN, it works fine, so I know it's not the cable or the connection. 

What the heck can I do to get this darn thing to work? I'm about to take a sledgehammer to it!

audiojan sorry to hear that! My Mini has been operating flawlessly wirelessly and personally a big fan of the Lightning DS app and never had issues with it either. A bit confused thought your saying Lightning is losing connection wired or wireless? If wireless may I ask what band your running on? The Mini can run on 5G which is a much less crowded band vs 2.4G.

Hey, I know this is an older thread, but did you end up keeping your Aries Mini or did you get rid of it and get something else? I ask because I'm having a lot of problems with crashes and buffering with the Mini, even when it's hooked up via Ethernet.

No, still have it. I figured out what the problem was. I was using a AQ Jitterbug on the USB and that caused it crash. Once I removed it, it has been very stable and works just fine.

Are you having buffering issues with Tidal or your own files or both marc202 If it's just Tidal that's a known Tidal issue not the Aries.
