Can only control Node 2i when ethernet connected
Answered
I've just bought a Node 2i and cannot set it up properly.
The BluOS app on my phone recognises the Node when it's connected by ethernet cable. I then navigate to Settings > Player and enter wi-fi password. The blue light on the Node flashes green briefly and the confirmation screen comes up "Congratulations! You have completed the setup process!"
This suggests the Node recognises the wi-fi. But when I switch it off (5 minutes later as suggested), disconnect the ethernet cable and switch on again, the app just gives the basic screens and the Node cannot be controlled.

Just to add to this, if I play streaming radio and disconnect the ethernet cable (literally just pulling it out), after a brief pause the station keeps playing. But then the controller app stops working.

Thanks for trying to help, Tony, but I spent six hours on Saturday trying to get it to work and another hour tonight. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, resetting the Node, rebooting the router, tried a different phone, even tried standing on one leg in case that helps - all to no avail.
It all goes fine until step 9, when I get this message:
I bought the Node used on eBay. I think I have no choice bit to conclude that it is faulty and ask for a refund.

If the Player LED is blue - kill the App make sure your phone is on the same network as the player then re-launch the App. It should appear in the App - click it where it says 'Needs Setup'.

Thanks, but I have tried that about 30 times. Until Saturday I didn't even know how to kill an app.
To summarise, with the green light on after a reset and the smartphone connected to my SKY*****wi-fi, , I get New player detected > Setup now> Looking for players > Node 2i -**** > Choose a Wi-fi network > SKY***** > Enter password (ok) > Player name Node 2i-**** (ok) > Device to use with BluOS > it spins before I can confirm and then goes Connecting to Wi-fi then "not complete" error message. By now light is blue.
If I kill the app, phone still on SKY*****, and re-open BluOS I get nothing, just the basic screens shown in my first post.. If I click the three bars > Help > add a player nothing gets recognised.
If I then switch Node off and on again, light soon goes blue. I kill and relaunch app, but again it's the basic screen and nothing is recognised.
Do you think the Node is faulty?

Guess what, it's working!
We sorted it by accident. On the router settings, we noticed the "Wireless Isolation" button had been enabled. I didn't even know what that meant but a simple click of a box has sorted the issue.
Thank you Tony for your efforts.
