AmazonHD dropouts
Answered
I'm having trouble streaming Amazon HD via wireless. Constant dropouts. I have no problems with other sources like Radio Paradise MQA. I have a good wifi signal, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
I asked for help on another forum & someone else had solved the same issue by rebooting the Node2i; I tried this & it helped for an hour or two then started dropping again. I don't have any issues when using ethernet, but don't want to be tied to a cable forever.
Any thoughts?
I did buy my unit as a 'scratch & dent' return, so is it possible my unit is defective?
Thanks for any help.

@ Seppi Evans: So I tried this and again, fine connection for a while & then started dropping. the diagnostics page in the blueos app says my signal strength is 'excellent', but still won't stay connected.

FWIW: shortly after this discussion the new Node was announced. I returned the Node 2i & got a new Node when it came out, hoping that the issue with dropouts would be corrected. Still had the same issue - after playing AMHD for a few hours using WiFi it would start dropping, stuttering etc. I decided to keep the new Node & use eithernet since I really like everything else about the Node.
Long story short, eventually got a new router & faster WiFi from Verizon & can now stream AMHD via WiFi without dropouts. Even tho the Node reported an 'excellent' WiFi signal with the old router I guess the connection was the issue.
Count me in the 'Happy Node customer' group.

Bru_T, what were the make/model of your old and new router? Would be interesting to know

Sam R. - I don't know the make & model of the routers, I just use the ones that Verizon provides. I changed my plan with them a while ago, went from 75 mbps to 150 & the change required a newer modem/router than what I had with the old plan.
