Aurender N10 connection with the network
I just purchased the Aurender N10 used off of Audiogon this past week.
Quick start guide tells me that the unit will connect to the network with a Cat 5 cable. Download the phone app on my Samsung phone. Sounds simple.
3 days later after all kind of changes for the life of me I cannot get this think connected to my network.. WTF. Yes I restarted all my modems and routers a few times. Nothing.
Any suggestions other than getting my money back if the guy will do that?
Cat5 is actually only rated for 100Base-T. Most people at home and work are on gigabit (1000Base-T) which requires Cat5e or better. I'd use a Cat6 cable if I were you. You may want to consider putting a DHCP reservation in on your router so it uses the same IP address. Or, there is a way to assign a static IP to your Aurender if needed. |
@gs5556 If MicroLost made anything that didn't suck....it'd be a vacuum. |
@rickderuyter , I'm in IT so I've seen my share of strange networking issues. Due to location, I'm forced to use a wifi extender set up in bridge mode. So it simply feeds the ethernet cable out to my Aurender, and doesn't extend the wireless signal or become part of a mesh network. Signal strength is full bars. My N100h would play for a while, then disconnect for a short period and come back on with the next IP address in the dhcp scope. I'd have to relaunch the Conductor app and re-find it and play some more until it happened again. I tried everything to no avail. I put this squarely on the NetGear equipment and NOT the Aurender. Aurender gave me the dope on how to get into the backend and assign it a static IP address and no more problems. |
