I find it a little bit misleading, when they say in their commercial that they have found a robust and high quality wireless connection.

Lately I notice the Beolab 19 shows the red light and then the green light and that's happened a few times since a firmware update.

I wasn't sure if it was the firmware update or wisa. If it continues I'll disconnect and reconnect the sub in speaker groups and see if that works

The bl19 is wisa with an avant.

So i disconnected the speaker connection on the avant and reconnected it - haven't had an issue since

It's a wireless product so i think they do get confused. 

Hello, I had the same problem, but the dealer updated the software on transmitter and loudspeakers. After this everything was solved.

An update on my earlier post.  I had an occasional drop out on one BL18 speaker. I swapped my speakers around and still got drop outs in the same location (different speaker). So there is clearly a problem with the location itself relative to the transmitter. 

Thanks to the ever helpful Nick @Sheffield who provided me with a 5 metre cable (BM5 to transmitter 1) I have tried a few different positions for the transmitter and now seem to have no drop outs. The transmitter used to be at floor level but raising it at least 12 inches from the floor has made all the difference. 

Hi,

I've had the same problem. The solution in my case turned out to be: placing the Essence hideaway box on the floor and putting the Transmitter 1 ON TOP of it. (Initially the hideaway box was on top of the transmiter)

Just for curiosity, who of you use Wisa and have more or less 0 dropouts?

+ Me. 2 Years and not one drop out. Avant 55 + BL18 + BL2

2 years Essence and BL 18 and 1 year Avant. No drop outs but occasionally the WiSA doesn't find/connect to the BL18 which is 4m away from the Avant. Dealer blames 5g network on Apple Extreme but it is far away and I have manually moved the 5g network to a band range which is far from the WiSA range. No real solution other than disconnecting power on BL18 and reconnecting. Most times WiSA then connects. No interim drop outs.

Six months now with 4xBL18 and a BL19 connected wirelessly to a BV11.

Things were terrible when my router was running both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks. The router is near the TV and I currently don't have an alternative location for it. So I had to disable the 5Ghz network, after trying every channel, even the ones which are more distant from the Wisa frequency.

Since I disabled the 5Ghz, I never experienced a single problem with any speaker.

Thanks Marcello. Unfortunately, Apple Extreme routers do not allow for disabling the 5ghz frequency...
