Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade

I was having dropout issues with my Node 2, which I attributed to the fact that I'm using wifi and it's in the opposite corner of my house from my router, but since the recent update it hasn't dropped out once.  Knock on wood, fingers crossed, and all that stuff.

To add to the frustration, when connection is not possible, you can’t even send a support request because the the blueos app is so truncated in the failure mode.

To effectively use the node streamer, you have to depend on *2* computers to run as expected. The bluesound AND your iPad or phone app etc. I also have constant bluetooth connection problems each day at start up. In retrospect, I would have much preferred a remote to at least decrease these failure rates by 50%.

I am thankful that i still have hard media CD s and an oppo to fall back on.

I have a node 1 that froze up a couple of weeks ago. I just received a new node 2i. I use the node 1 as a paper weight. Nothing worked to revive it. Maybe I’ll try the reset again in a few days.

rocray, if by "freezing up" you mean its stuck in a red LED mode, try reading through the link below, particularly the last few posts and see if that helps. It helped me with my Node N100.
Good luck.

kalali, thanks for the link. I did try a reset last night,it did start blinking for 20-30 seconds,and then went back to solid red. I will try the reset again ,but this time I’ll connect it via Ethernet cable. The funny thing is my Node froze and I ordered a 2i before this potential fix. Isn’t that the way life goes sometimes?
