I have a Playmaker and getting hooked up to the router for a software update is a pain. Does any one know the current software build? I have 1.00.2196. I have lots of wifi related dropouts. No similar issues on two iPads, iPhone, Apple TVs, etc. I'm hoping it's software issue. Otherwise it's ok. Single function simple, with Beo4 support! I don't care much for the smoke detector aesthetic however.

Thanks Roger. Did it make any difference to you?On December 21st B&O released Version 1.00.2485. Roger
Hi,
No - this update did not make any difference to me. B&O says it solves issues related to connecting to the nearest access point and other minor bugs.

I'm also experiencing wifi issues with 1.00.2196. That's a pity because the playmaker is a very nice piece of equipment from a functional perspective. Just installed update 1.00.2485. I will post my results.
I will install it in the next couple of days.
I too think it's a good effort by B&O. Unfortunately the one thing that would make it outstanding is out of their hands. The ability to Airplay to multiple Airplay Speakers from an iOS or ATV would make this a really great product. I know it can be done from a Mac, but I don't like having to fiddle with my computer to listen to music around the house. Let's hope Apple gets this done. I had my whole house on ML until I moved recently, so I'm spoiled!
Like I said in my original post: The aesthetics are completely off, but I can live with it.
Does any one know the current software build?
Since I don't have WiFi issues I can't report anything about this - but with the new version
we've got balance adjustment as well as tone control via "Speaker" and "A.Setup"
I've updated the unit to the latest firmware. After two days I can report that I've had no dropouts at all. Perhaps it's premature to say this made the difference, but before updating, the dropouts were constant over a period of several days. As far as the update process, it was surprisingly slow. At least it seemed that way.
I'm running 1.00.2485 for a couple of days now. To me the software update makes a world of a difference. I've not had one single connection dropped since the install. I'm enjoying it very much now, really much much better.
re Joost
My PM runs on the original software without any problems.
I will not update at the moment - espescially because the updateprocedure is a pain in the ar..
