Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade

Not what your asking, but no problems with ethernet connection.

I haven't had time to play around with it, but the BluOS page is greatly truncated and I can't get anything to play on the Node, which is in my basement system.  I know from painful experience, as a long time Bluesound owner, that when this happens it means something went amiss during an update.  I have literally spent hours through the years trying to get these units out of update Hell.  The CS used to be helpful but  has gotten progressively worse though the years and I don't bother with them anymore.  
   I have 3 systems in the home and was originally interested in the whole home aspect of Bluesound but have had multiple issues.  I even had my house ethernet wired largely to make these units work better and that helped as did refusing to do updates but now the updates start on their own.  I gave up on one Node that I couldn't get to restart and it resides in a recycle bin somewhere.  It was replaced with a Bryston BDP3 which while it has it's own issues is generally fixable and sounds much better, but I have kept the Vault and another Node2 for the other two systems.
I really don't miss the Whole Home thing...if I am busy moving from level to level in my House I am usually so preoccupied by the tasks at hand that I am not seriously listening to music.
   I realize that Bluesound is priced to a point, but it isn't bargain basement priced, and it's puzzling to me that they uniquely have been vulnerable to problems after updates for years and haven't done diddle to fix it.  Considering the size of their market share for the product category, and the size of the parent company, I really find this inexcusable

I tried downloading the newest release 3.10.3 using the ethernet connection (vs. WiFi) and it revived my N100. There’s a lengthy discussion on the Bluesound Help Center forum about this subject and one of their support guys walked me through the process and it was very helpful. My Node2 worked fine after the upgrade without any additional intervention. BTW, this recent (3.10.0) upgrade was the only time I had issues with my devices. All in all the units have been rock solid over the several years I've owned them.

I was having dropout issues with my Node 2, which I attributed to the fact that I'm using wifi and it's in the opposite corner of my house from my router, but since the recent update it hasn't dropped out once.  Knock on wood, fingers crossed, and all that stuff.

To add to the frustration, when connection is not possible, you can’t even send a support request because the the blueos app is so truncated in the failure mode.

To effectively use the node streamer, you have to depend on *2* computers to run as expected. The bluesound AND your iPad or phone app etc. I also have constant bluetooth connection problems each day at start up. In retrospect, I would have much preferred a remote to at least decrease these failure rates by 50%.

I am thankful that i still have hard media CD s and an oppo to fall back on.
