D220 wireless connection - Flashman - 09-May-2019 I am having an issue connecting wirelessly to my D220. I use Google WiFi and and I am turning off my Norton firewall momentarily so as not to create a problem. I have input my SSID/password in the configurator and disconnected the Ethernet cable, yet it doesn't connect. I get the cross through on the wireless symbol on my D220 on the Air source. Any suggestions? I am trying to connect wirelessly while Devialet/Roon work out the issues about RAAT and streaming to the D220. Thanks, Michael RE: D220 wireless connection - sam1000 - 09-May-2019 I had a similar issue last week while I was trying to connect to the wireless. I use Google Wifi as well. Try creating a brand new configuration from scratch with wireless. Then overwrite your existing config on the SD card. It worked for me.

RE: D220 wireless connection - thumb5 - 10-May-2019 Michael, is your wi-fi password longer than about 31 characters? If so, that might be the problem; certainly in the olden days (original, pre-Pro Expert series) the Devialet's wi-fi module had a limitation in that it couldn't use wi-fi passwords longer than that. I don't know whether that's still the case, because I have never used a longer password after shortening years ago it to make it work with my Devialet.

I cannot even access the Devialet directly from a web browser, as some have done. See screenshot. I recently purchased the Expert 220 Pro and the box, even with the CI board, was listed as "companion." I am now wondering whether I have all the capabilities of a "master." My guess is yes but I had heard that some companion units did not have the wifi board, though perhaps that was when Devialet was upgrading from the standard Expert series to the Pro series. https://imgur.com/a/Mev2RGp RE: D220 wireless connection - Antoine - 11-May-2019 If you cycle through the menu’s on the Devialet display it’ll tell you if there’s a wifi and ethernet board installed. If so it’ll show you the MAC addresses.

If so it’ll show you the MAC addresses. Not sure I am doing the menu correctly to see whether there's wifi and ethernet board correctly installed. I do not see a MAC address, though previously when I used FING, I did see a MAC address from time to time. It's not there on my latest view of FING. I do see AIR as an option when I cycle through the sources: is that indicative of the wifi board? RE: D220 wireless connection - Flashman - 11-May-2019 Just saw a MAC address, so guess I have WiFi card! RE: D220 wireless connection - thumb5 - 12-May-2019 One other thought: how far away from your router/access point is your 220? If it's more than a couple of metres, maybe the wireless signal is just too weak for the 220 to use reliably. Assuming you don't have the CI upgrade, the wi-fi antenna is completely inside the 220's metal casing, which is less than ideal, so the 220 "sees" much lower wi-fi signal strength than other equipment in the same place.

My Google WiFi puck sits about 1 foot from the D220, so range is not an issue. For some reason, the D220 just won’t recognize my SSID/password. I’m going to focus instead on the 100mbps solution. I have a 100mbps switch and am just waiting for a Cat5e cable to arrive in order to tether it to the D220. Thanks for your thoughts! |
