Pro-Ject Stream Box s2 Ultra - Network Change HELP!

@zm - I don't have the Project but I googled the user manual - think what you are after is on page 5

I have the same device.  Sometimes downloading the app again helps with issues.
PM me if you need any more help and I will try to assist. 

Factory reset:

• Obtain a USB Thumb Drive

• Format it as “FAT32” using the MBR partition table. Please note that MacOS often uses a different partition table by default! Please make sure to select the MBR partition table when formatting.

• Download this file http://repo.volumio.org/utils/factory_reset

• Please use Google Chrome or Firefox if the download doesn’t start automatically

• Copy it on the Thumb Drive (make sure the name of the file is exactly "factory_reset")

• Turn off the Stream Box S2 Ultra and unplug the ethernet cable (if connected)

• Plug the thumb drive to one of the USB ports

• Turn on the Stream Box S2 Ultra

• IMPORTANT: During this phase the unit might restart multiple times and this factory reset will take about 5 minutes.

• The factory reset will be completed when the Net-LED starts blinking again

I only needed this one time.

Thanks for the advice, all.

@facten I tried the steps outlined in the manual with no success, but thanks for looking that up and sharing.

@gasnsteering thanks for the offer of help - I like this device a lot, but I think it's fair to say the UI could be improved upon.

@fuzztone Thanks for this - I managed to get in touch with Pro-Ject USA and they led me to the same procedure. I actually had to go out and buy a flash drive because I haven't had a need for one in so long!  I am going to give this process a try and imagine it should set the device straight.

Have you tried plugging a screen, mouse and keyboard in?

That is easier to use than the clunky app.

It's the official reset. A reset function on the device would be nice but not needed much.

@zm Home networking continues to become more complex. It's generally a good idea to keep the same SSID and Wifi password for the new router so that, if you have 50 devices or so on your network, you don't have to manually connect them all to the new router. It can be difficult enough to setup the new router hardware. By reusing the same SSID and Wifi password on the new router, all your devices should automatically log into the new router. 

I upgraded my router within the last couple weeks, and I had to hard reset one of my smart displays because nothing else worked. 

@classdstreamer Wise advice, and I hope anyone with these issues who stumbles across this thread heeds it!  I wish I had!

And for the record, problem solved after following the procedure @fuzztone helpfully laid out - after having to purchase both a USB thumb drive and a damn USB-C adapter to format it on my MacBook!  Thanks Pro-Ject!  😑

i tried the streambox (and also a volumio primo streamer) early on in my streaming travels, i could not get it to work, it was so frustrating, i returned them both within a couple days

+1 on connecting a monitor via the HDMI output and a mouse via the USB input. Here's instructions on doing so:

The cool thing is that the advanced Raspberry Pi processor inside is a fully-fledged computer, so it’s completely updatable and accessible with a mouse, keyboard, and an external monitor or a touch screen. Using the HDMI port and one of the USB ports included on the back of the unit, we were able to access the system settings and restore it back to factory default settings using a TV monitor and a USB mouse. Problem solved. 

@calvinandhobbes

I’d seen that option to restore it back to factory default settings when I used the mouse/keyboard/monitor.

Much easier interface for setup as well.
