Hey guys, after coming back home from holidays I've been struggling to get my Reactors back in sync and it drives me absolutely nuts.
They are both connected to the same power strip and both are connected to my router via Ethernet so pretty much best case scenario. Tried resetting and restarting them both a couple of times, they occasionally snap back into sync (voices coming nicely from the center) but immediately fall out of sync again. Anyone has a secret recipe before I contact Devialet?

I had the same thing happen to a pair of reactor 900w about a week ago in the same power/Ethernet setup. I’ve tried power cycling them as well as factory reset them twice with no fix. I opened a ticket with devialet last week but they’ve yet to respond. If I get any further I’ll let you know!
Cheers,
Andy

You need to disconnect the Ethernet cables, resync them, and once it's done you can plug the Ethernet cables back in. Takes 2 minutes max.

I’ve had the same issue. The right reactor (that is not connected to optical) keeps going silent. Power cycling it brings it back to life. I’ll try resyncing without ethernet tonight.
So annoying that the app doesn’t show which syncing method it’s currently using nor that there’s even a problem.

Tried that, no success.
It‘s mind-boggling to me how this just happens after months of no problems

*Update, did exactly that again twice and stereo is back in sync. Seems very random to me. Hopefully won't happen too often..

I have to report back with the same problem happening again came home after the weekend and they are both playing together but it sounds like they are both playing in mono. No soundstage. I basically can't rely on my Reactors to still be in synced stereo after they are powered off and back on. Contacting Devialet now.

Dev support answer (will check over the weekend):
According to our engineer team, Wifi 5GHz is more stable compared to the ethernet cable. Due to the reason, please follow the process below.
Factory reset (simply press the back button for 7 sec)
After that, please take out your ethernet cable
Then reset your reactor on your App.
※Please try to connect your one reactor first then add the other one as a stereo

Wait, wifi is more stable than ethernet? Is that not completely insane?
