HomePlug woes...

[kidstypike]

I've been using a Duet in my main audio room alongside an SB3, with splendid results, I wish to move the SBR to the dining-room. The wifi signal there is poor, and results in the SBR being unusable. I've purchased a couple of Devolo HomePlugs, and set them up as per instructions. In the dining-room I've plugged the SBR into a HomePlug, using Ethernet cable, problem is, it's exactly the same as using wifi .... unusable! The SBR is probably not using the wired connection, but picking up the poor wifi signal.

Question, how do I get the SBR to use the ethernet connection, as opposed to wifi, is there something I need to do, something I've missed?

Need help real bad!

Many thanks

Is the firmware in the Devolo up to date ?

You're taking me into uncharted waters here! How would I check that out?

Press and hold the button on the SBR until it flashes fast - this is a factory reset. Now go back through setup (with the ethernet connected) and you should get an option to connect to ethernet instead of wireless.

Like any computing device - goto to the product website - for the HS product

Although the last firmware release is out about 2yrs - some stock in shops have old firmware.

OK, done that, thanks. The installer told me that I already have the latest firmware.


New problem, I tried the reset, as suggested by radish, now I have a slow blinking red LED, (with or without the ethernet connected), and nothing on the controller that I can see to alter this.

Can you get me back to where I was originally, i.e. connected to wifi?

Many thanks

Edit, OK I rebooted the controller, am now back to where I was. Thanks.

Thanks radish, I succeeded on the second attempt!
Many thanks to all.
