Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade

Well,it seems the update will resurrect the Node 1. Looks like I may be putting the Node up for sale,now that it will be working again.  Truly impeccable timing. Oh well . If I had waited about two more weeks,it wouldn’t have cost a thing. However,I did get a brand new 2i.

I have a node 1 that froze up a couple of weeks ago. I just received a new node 2i. I use the node 1 as a paper weight. Nothing worked to revive it. Maybe I’ll try the reset again in a few days.

kalali, thanks for the link. I did try a reset last night,it did start blinking for 20-30 seconds,and then went back to solid red. I will try the reset again ,but this time I’ll connect it via Ethernet cable. The funny thing is my Node froze and I ordered a 2i before this potential fix. Isn’t that the way life goes sometimes? 

Well,I tried the factory reset. That worked. I first hard wired it to the router, and the update worked. Unplugged the Ethernet cable and tried the setup via WiFi,and SHAZAM!!!! 

    Now the very difficult part of this problem. When the node went down,my lovely wife told me,” Go ahead and just order a new one”. 
 Which I did. The new 2i showed up days before Bluesound offered the update/fix. I guess I’ll sell the Node n100 and put the proceeds in our joint account instead of my mad money account. Why do things have to be so complicated??

I wish I knew that they were going to offer such great customer support for such an old product. Oh well,first world problems.
