Network problem touch with wifi

[merrick]

Since I moved my PC to the attic, the Touch can't find my music collection on the PC.
(I dont have a NAS and have WIFI)

I tried to 'up' the signal by adding a wifi repeater in my home.
This didnt change a thing for the Touch (my signal was much better, but the PC was still not found)
Now I tried to put powerline adapters in my home network.

Its setup is like this:
Ubee Cable modem --> Cisco linksys E2000 (wifi) router --> TP link 500mbps powerline adapter

The PC in the attic is also linked with a TP link powerline adapter.

The SB Touch is linked into the the network through the wifi repeater whith a UTP cable

I CAN play internetradio through mysqueezebox.com but cannot acces my FLAC's on the PC.

All advice is very welcome.

Verify that both player & server are on the same network. Sure DHCP is only in use for one router? Guest networks?

I had a similar problem with a WiFi camera mounted high under the eves of the house.

At height, your device will see far more signals from security cameras, WiFi nodes and anything that uses that band and there are alot.

Since it's your PC in the attic, download Xirrus WiFi inspector (Google it) and see what your attic placed PC can see. You may find one channel is being swamped. You could then simply move channel or if all are busy you may have to move the PC downstairs somewhere.

Hope this helps.

Am also struggling with wifi and touch. Router is in front room, second touch connected in bedroom via wifi has only 15% signal, installed powerlines but touch still trying to connect to older (weaker) signal. Have tried factory reset on it and still reconnects to the router, not the powerline. I know powerline working as phone and pad can find it, albeit after a refresh on connection (had hoped this would be automatic as move around house). Have also tried ther connection but noise on speakers, ether has to pass right by the speakers, is not bearable so wifi only option I can see.

Thanks for any help also

You have to tell the Touch to connect via ethernet.

Have doe Ethernet connection but whenever ethervpluggedin I get major noise from cable, think is because near speaker, picks up interference
