Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless

Does anyone else have this problem?   My PC is hardwire LAN to the Bluesound Vault2 and the wireless router.   The two Bluesound Node 2's are wireless.   About 50% of the time, the Bluesound App on the PC cannot find one or both of the nodes.    I have the same problem with Roon as well.   It is very frustrating but I don't see anyway out of this.

@mahler,
That's weird. I just replied to their emails and got answers back the next day or so.
I, too, found out that the players should be ungrouped before update after getting the same error. That is something they should let people know about.
Did the reset fix the problem?

everything seems to be working.  Keeping the fingers crossed.
the tech said they have had a big increase in sales around the holiday and thus they are swamped...makes me wonder if the 2i is having some bugs...

I have the 2i and haven't had any problems with connections or updates. SMB  is the file sharing  protocol they use which has been around since the 1980's and is still widely used in small networks.

Actually, the update should be smart enough to ungroup the players, update them, then regroup what it found originally.   To me, this seems like an obvious common sense thing to do.

As for my system, the recent 1.6 upgrade made the Nodes disappear from the network again.    So, I am doing the reboot, reboot, reboot thing until they reappear.

Did you do the update from usb drives, Ethernet, or WiFi?
That’s really discouraging.
