BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?


I am looking for your help.  We recently switched from Sonos to BlueSound to get higher streaming rates.  So far we have had consistent problems and issues(!!).  Specifically, about 50% of the time my and my wife's BlueSound app does not recognize the Node 2i's.  When I delete the app, reinstall it and reconnect the Nodes, we again have the same problems at least 50% of the time.  It is simply a joke of a product and I find we are not alone.  I have tried just about everything.

Also, when I go online to get help, I find that I am not alone and there is a tsunami of negative (to the degree of very hostile) comments about BlueSound and for the most part it is the same issue.  I have tried just about everything and I am about to simply trash/sell mine and go back to Sonos.  If I do go back to Sonos, I will also leave a stream of bad comments on every forum I can since going back to Sonos will represent a big financial loss to me simply because Bluesound is an irresponsible/deceptive company at my expense.

Alternatively, I just want it to reliably work.  Do you you have and advice and/or guidance to get Bluesound to reliably work?  Is there a better alternative to to get higher bit rates thank Bluesound?

Thank you in advance for your help.  Dave

I hope the Powerline adapters work better for you than they did for me.  I had several that gave up the ghost because in order to reach all the rooms my house, they had to pass over more than 2 zones on the circuit breaker.  Eventually I Ethernet wired the house; best investment ever
I went the whole house route.  WiFi was poor from day 1, I eventually Ethernet wired the house and that helped.  However, I have had 2 Nodes die on me, and now only use the Vault2 in 1 of my systems.  Many problems related to updates.  Overall I would not repurchase it
I’m listening to Claudio Arrau play Debussy now with my Vault2 streaming files from my NAS,  and really for the price it sounds great.  However, I wish I could be reimbursed for the 2 Node2s that died on me
