Is there no fix for the drop outs and the disappearance of the speaker from my wifi network?

I have two of these on my network, using Airplay software. The wifi radio on this device is weak, so you need a strong signal. I have a large home, so I use wifi repeaters and place them near the speaker. Netgear has several good wall plug repeater models, starting at ~$35. Simple to set up. Also, as with any streaming set up, you need plenty of wifi bandwidth.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

Try looking for a reset hole on the bottom of the speaker. A paper clip should fit in it. That cured mine.if not, try calling the customer service number. I found them surprisingly helpful and friendly - not what you expect these days. They answered several questions I had and solved the problem Good luck!

Haven't seen this happen for the 9 months I've been using the Coby. I wonder if the dropouts are happening in your audio source.

Is it losing connection while in use or after you shut it down and then it will not reconnect? If it has been paired with another device and that device is still active, (example iPad is in use or sleeping but not off) the speaker will attempt to connect to that device and will not connect to another until the previous device is deactivated or it's Bluetooth is shut off. Loss of Bluetooth connection can be caused by multiple devices attempting to connect, weak signal, too great a distance from source etc. I have two of these speakers and have not had a problem with either one. I use them with my iPad, phone, and with a laptop computer using an "old" external Bluetooth adaptor in a USB port. I'll mention battery state of charge too but you likely have charged it to see if a low battery was the problem. If the problem continues I'd contact the manufacturer. http://www.hensonaudio.com/index.php?route=information/contact

Hi, I had the same problem with the random disconnects, I tried quite of few things but could not correct. I stopped using the Bluetooth mouse.

I haven't had that problem, but my right speakers on a beautiful old boom box just went out. If there is a generic fix that might be applicable to you I'll get back to you.

The cheapest, easy fix would be to just wire your surround back speaker (which is what the one directly behind you is designated in a 6.1 system, not sure why it's not just called 'rear center') into both of the outputs in the receiver marked 'left rear and right rear'.The alternative would be to use the S-Air wireless feature and add the extra speakers that way.

No, it still uses the same tech and in areas with alot of wifi, it has insane dropouts. I was getting about 15 to 30 micro dropouts per song.

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

No you don't have to set up the wifi again. Can move the speaker anywhere you like. Power loss also not a problem.

Make sure it is turned off then hold the power button until it goes into paring mode(the light will blink between red and blue). Then go to your computer or devices and search for the speaker. only one device can connect to it at a time.

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

Sorry, I'm no help because I couldn't get the wifi extener to work at all. Directions were confusing and not very helpful. Mine is in a box ready for the dump!

disconnect at 5 ft range is not reasonable. the unit may be defective unless the bluetooth adapter is blocked by the speaker itself or big/thick object in front of speaker. Please email amazon or bentsai01@msn.com for replacement. Thanks!

I was, but I went to the Intel website and updated the WiFi driver. I haven't had it drop out on me in over 24 hours, which never happened before, so I can only assume it's fixed. Here's the link you'll need.http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
