B&O speakers dropping off home WiFi

[Chris Leeds]

Hello, and thanks in advance for your help. I’m sure that this is resolvable.

I have two Beolab 8’s, a Beosound 1, two Beosound 2’s and a Halo on the same WiFi network. Everything stays on the wireless network, except for the pair of Beolabs.

When I leave home and return, all the devices appear in the app, except for the Beolabs.

I’ve updated the app. I’ve updated the software on all the speakers. I’ve restarted the modem and router (spectrum modem with Plume WiFi mesh network). There’s plenty of coverage throughout the house with current, updated Plume pods, located in almost every room.

Suggestions? It’s very aggravating.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I’m not an IT specialist but have experienced some of issues like yours more or less. So whatever I said could be stupid or not.

What I would do would be to disconnect some items: All but the 8’s or “crescendo” just to check that it’s a problem related to the Beolab network connection or just what I would call “broadband pumping” – too many clients on one network.

Then, if the 8’s success in a stable connection, I would try to give everybody a Static IP and wire whatever coud be wired.

Last thing I would do is carefully access the wi-fi Mesh network; I’ve seen Airplay speakers just next to a relay connecting by default to one that is two rooms away, thus making the connection instable.

Hope this helps.

Do the 8’s have an orange/amber light stating that they don’t have a WiFi connection? Or are you basing that statement on them not showing in the app? And are the 8’s also stereo paired wirelessly?
