First post, but long time SB user.
In my collection I have a couple of Booms (original, not UE). Once is in my office - connected by ethernet, the other is in the bedroom as an alarm - connected by WiFi. All was well until a week ago or so. I was woken by the alarm playing random tracks from LMS on the Synology NAS, went into the shower with the music playing as usual, but when I got out of the shower the music had stopped - still apparently playing, but silent. I powered off and on again, but was unable to connect to the WiFi. I went through the setup from scratch, could see my SID, checked and re-entered the WiFi password, but connection attempts just timed out and would not connect. I tried everything, made sure the MAC for the Boom was allowed in the Draytek router access control and so on, but no luck. I went through a few days of checking everything, restarting the router, re-adding the Boom's MAC, scanning for devices and finding the Boom, it just would not connect to the router any more. At this point I decided to swap the Booms over, but the office one also wouldn't connect to WiFi either although it was OK with ethernet.
So, short of running a cable across the landing from the office to the bedroom (unlikely to be allowed as a permanent fix), I'm stuck. The strange thing was that it dropped whilst in use without any other action - nothing had changed on the router, the network or any other hardware as I was in the shower and I'm the only in-house techie. I've scanned the network from the router and I can see the two Booms when they attempt to use the WiFi. Both MACs are allowed to connect and show in the Neighbo(u)rs tab in the router but they will not make an authorised connection to the network. All my other devices that use WiFi are OK, including a Receiver and Controller from the same MAC address range.
Just don't know what to try next...
