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

If you can't run a wire to the Nodes, here are a few things to look at:

- A better router
- A wireless repeater and/or Wireless Access Point
- Does your cable modem also have a wireless router?  If so, you might try turning it off.  If the devices connect to a different network than the one your PC is on, you won't "see" them.

I have two WAPs, one in my living room and one in my office and a repeater in my bedroom which is the furthest from my router and all my wireless devices stay connected.  My Comcast modem has a wireless router and I stay off that network.  There are speed test and network test apps you can run on your phone that will give you an idea of how good your wireless network is performing.

The repeater is an interesting idea, the others I have already tried.  I got a new router, recommended by Roon to solve this problem.   It was better, yes, but didn't solve it.   The ComCast modem was installed in Bridge mode, so that wireless part is not operational.      I'll check signal strength tonight.

mahler123 - I am glad I am not the only one.  I have suspected for some time now that this problem is indemic to BlueSound Vault2's and Node2's.  Well, we can only hope that they will fix it.   Frankly, this is such a major problem, I wish I didn't buy the stuff and bought something else instead.  Dang, my analog LP's are faster to get into play than this stuff.  

Have you tried sending a support request to the Bluesound tech folks? I had a similar problem with the iPhone and iPad apps occasionally not finding my Powernode, and the techs were very helpful in getting it resolved. They did a remote access to my system and made a few changes to my wireless router settings.  

I, too, am having issues with Bluesound.
Spotify skips, Deezer repeats.
They have been good at responding to my requests, but after some update in September, I have been having nothing but problems-none of which is resolved.
Please do open a ticket. You can do it on the 'Help' tab on the BS app.
Before you do that, just make sure you are on the latest OS for both the Nodes and App. You can find that on the 'Settings' tab.

I have made multiple calls to customer service over the holiday weeks and they haven’t answered.  I am off tomorrow and will try one last time but I’m ready to move on from Bluesound.  Am thinking of Bryston BDP 2 or 3, since I have a Bryston DAC
