I hope I'm in the right forum to ask about this.
Up until recently my setup was LMS v(7.7.2) running on a Netgear Ready NAS with 2x Duet, 2x Radio, 1x Boom and 1x Touch (all connected wirelessly) and using Orange Squeeze from my Android phone - all was working well.
We moved house and the only major changes are that so far I've only connected the Touch, Boom and one Radio but have added a second router to boost the wireless signal to the other end of the house. The main router is a new one from Sky, the "booster" being the old one from the previous house.
My phone is now frequently unable to see LMS and this is only rectified by rebooting the router. Prior to rebooting the router, Squeeze Player is similarly unable to connect and typing the IP (19.168.0.2:9000) into the phone's browser also fails. The players all continue to work perfectly and my wirelessly connected Windows laptops can all access LMS as normal.
I have carefully traced MAC addresses and given everything on the network a fixed IP address other than the Sky HD tv box which for some reason always creates two connections to the same IP - thought it best to leave this to do its own thing.
The second router is connected by a (very) long ethernet cable and is also designated a fixed ip (192.168.0.1.50) - I followed the instructions here (http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/ne...mmary-3633135/) to set this up. The Touch always connects through this and seems to do so consistently without issue.
First thing this morning, I was again unable to connect via the phone. I logged into the router from a PC and could see that nothing new was connected and that everything (other than the aforementioned Sky box) was connected to its usual designated IP. The players all worked fine, LMS was accessible from the PCs but Orange Squeeze kept timing out and telling me that there was "no route" to the server while Squeeze Player was also unable to connect. Resetting the phone didn't help but rebooting the router put everything in order again...
To my simple mind, this is something to do with the Android phone as everything else seems to be fine but Orange Squeeze, Squeeze Player and even Chrome on the phone are unable to see LMS when this happens.
The only thing I can think of is that some sort of upset might be being caused when the phone connects to the repeater router and then subsequently tries to re-connect to the main router. But I'm not sure how to confirm or correct this.
Any ideas?
