Hi all

I have a beam and a sub. I recently had to reset my internet. I thought everything was running smoothly till this morning I can’t connect my products to my wifi. I have reset the router. Change the password, security settings and nothing is working.
The app find the products I go to update the network, follow the steps get to putting the password in for my network and it says fail to connect. Looked into all the help options and still nothing. 

Am I missing something please help

You are better off powering down BRIDGE because it is being nasty.

Power supply at 4.55 V. I’ll get round to trying the BOOST...:(

That looks bad, makes your choice easy.

Sometimes the power looks good on a meter but is pretty ugly on a scope, that is tough to find if you don’t have one handy.

Depending on the meter, you can switch to measuring AC voltage. For a functional DC power supply, this AC measurement should be near zero. This is just a quickie test. Most meters, especially the cheap ones, do a poor job at measuring the ripple voltage and one should be careful when attempting to make a definitive statement (such as claiming ‘A’ is better than ‘B’), but if this measurement is not near zero, the power supply is defective.

No i dont have a handy scope, but i can test AC. My meter is close enough and these gadgets should work over a range. Bridge is about 17 years old. (My Technics linear turntable still works perfectly at 40 years.)

Sadly Sonos got less than perfect innards in the Bridge power brick.

Replacing the power supply with a compatible unit might be possible.

Replacing BRIDGE’s power supply might eek a little extra life out of BRIDGE, but in my opinion this is a hollow victory. In today’s much denser wireless environment, BRIDGE’s technology is easily overwhelmed. BOOST is better in this respect, but it too is becoming dated.

The parts count in your Technics is much lower and it does not need to bother with constantly evolving radio communication.

Yes, BRIDGE can operate over a short range, but the lower bound is 5.0V. I don’t know the upper bound, but I wouldn’t expect it to be more than 5.5V.
