Hi Beoworlders,

 

I have a question regarding Multiroom. I have a setup like this;

Kitchen: Beosound Essence MKII / Beolab 3

Living Room: Beosound Moment / Beolab 18

TV Room: Beovision Contour

Bathroom: Beosound Core / Celestial

When I try multiroom, it never works. Its out of sync, stops and starts playing here and there. Just a really bad experience, so I never use it. All products are up to date with the latest software, and in the product status in the app - all products are green on the wifi indicator (-66dbm is the weakest signal)

But I would like to make it stable and working! Is the solution to buy wifi extenders? Do you have some to suggest that works well with B & O?

 

Best Regards

Robert

What are your sync settings? On wifi it is recommended to set the latency settings on 1000 milliseconds (go to the ip-addresses of your speakers to find the config menu from your desktop/laptop).

I have WiFi latency set to 100ms.

Since I changed to Unifi Dreammachine WiFi router I have no problems with multifroom and I have all my devices on WiFi.

Wow, after the latest update of the app 3.19, the multiroom is more stable than ever..!

Anyone else with the same experience?

App and multiroom are unrelated.

Latest products software update may have had a positive impact on your setup, but the app update had none for sure.

Hello Robert,

 

always go for cable connection, try to keep your network as "clean" as possible (ie appliances that you don't need to be connected to your network unplug them from it), when deciding to buy a network component (ie a switch) always go for the best your budget can buy (you will not regret it), finally avoid using the Moment as the source you send to the other appliances; especially if you listen to high quality music files.

In case you feel comfortable with networks, try to create 2 networks. One for your B&O stuff and the other for the rest of the appliances. Then combine them into one so subnetworks can "talk"to each other. If you are not feeling comfortable with it try to avoid using too many network switches.

I always get sound drops sooner or later during my listening session, when I join the Moment via a V1 or Beosystem 4 which is not the case when I join the Moment from any other audio renderer (M5, essence MKii).

My Moment is LAN connected. I never experienced dropout when the Moment is the main source. 

It has the same quality in streaming to the other devices.
