I don’t have my wireless network name and password

As part of the setup process, if you have a wireless network you will need to know the name and password that are currently assigned to it

Note: A network name is sometimes referred to as an SSID, and a password is sometimes referred to as a wireless key, or security key

Note: If your network is not secured or you have an Ethernet network, it does not have a password If your network does not have a password, go to your Squeezebox and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process

To get your network name if your computer is connected via Wi-Fi, go to your computer

• Windows Vista and Windows 7—Click on the wireless network icon in your task bar

• Windows XP—Double-click on the network icon in your task bar

• Macintosh —Click once on the Wi-Fi icon at the top right of your screen Your network name will have a checkmark next to it

If you don’t have your wireless network password:

• Check to see if you have it written down somewhere

• Ask someone else in your Home if they know it

• Contact the person who set up your Home network

• Check your router manual

• Contact your router manufacturer or ISP for assistance

For information about how to configure your router to work with your Squeezebox, see the appropriate Knowledge Base article at www mysqueezebox com> Support Under Squeezebox Touch > Troubleshooting, search on your router model

My network is not listed

Squeezebox Touch is designed to find all wireless networks in range and display them by their network name (also known as their SSID) If you cannot select your network during setup because it isn’t listed under the Choose Network menu on your

Squeezebox, try the following:

•

•

•

•

Make sure that your Squeezebox is within range of your wireless network and free from potential sources of interference, such as cordless phones As a test, move the Squeezebox closer to your router, reset it, and try connecting again

If you suspect that other wireless networks are preventing your Squeezebox from reliably connecting to your network, try changing the channel your wireless router is operating on For assistance with this and other router configuration options, see your router’s documentation or contact your router manufacturer or ISP for support

Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in Wait a few minutes and see if your network name now appears in the list

If your network name still does not appear, your router might be configured to not broadcast its SSID In this case, enter your network name manually: a b

Select the I don’t see my Network option at the bottom of the list of networks

On the next screen select Enter my network name to enter it manually

22


Note: Network names (SSIDs) are case-sensitive For example, if you’ve named your network MyNetwork , the name mynetwork will not be accepted

Note: For information about accessing and changing your router settings, refer to your router manual and your router Settings page online, or contact your router manufacturer or ISP

My network password was not accepted

If your wireless network password was not accepted:

•

•

Try entering your password again There could be a typo

If your network password is not accepted, it could be in ASCII format (This only applies to WEP passwords that are either 5 or 13 characters in length ) If your password is in ASCII format, convert it to hexadecimal Search for an

ASCII-to-hex converter online, or use the converter at http://slimdevices com/asciitohex php

Squeezebox Touch follows the 802 11 standard and uses hexadecimal keys for WEP encryption WEP keys are 10 characters or

26 characters (for 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, respectively) If the password you’ve entered into Squeezebox Touch is only 5 or 13 characters long, then you have an ASCII encryption key, which must be converted to hexadecimal

For more information about reasons your password might not be accepted, see the next section, Network connection was not made.

A network connection was not made

After you enter your network password, if Squeezebox Touch cannot connect to your network, there could be a number of reasons Please try the following:

•

•

•

Confirm that you have entered the right network name and password

Check to see if there are multiple networks of the same name in the list on your Squeezebox If your wireless network name is still set to the manufacturer’s default name, such as Linksys or Netgear, there might be multiple networks with that name in your neighborhood and Squeezebox Touch could be attempting to connect to the wrong network

If this is an issue, try connecting to another network or go to your router’s settings page online, rename your network, and try the setup process again

Enter a static IP address —If you prefer to use a static IP address, make sure your DHCP server is off and, when

Squeezebox Touch displays the appropriate screen, input a static IP address

By default, Squeezebox Touch relies on a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to provide the IP address during setup If DHCP is disabled on your router, the Squeezebox will display an Address Problem screen during setup

From there, you can enter your IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address For help with this, contact the person who set up your wireless network or your router vendor

•

•

Turn MAC filtering off Check to see if your router is using MAC filtering If it is, and you cannot turn the filtering off, add the Squeezebox Touch MAC addresses to the router’s table of allowed devices

Find the MAC address of your Squeezebox printed on a label on the bottom of the unit

MAC filtering provides an extra level of security by ensuring that no unknown computers or other devices can connect to your wireless network without prior authorization

Check the distance between Squeezebox Touch and your wireless router If possible, move the Squeezebox and the router closer together and try connecting again

• Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in and wait for a few minutes Then try your password again

Note: For answers to common questions about routers, go to the Logitech Knowledge Base at www .mysqueezebox .com >

Support . Under Troubleshooting, select your product, and search on your router brand name

Note: For information about accessing and changing your router settings, refer to your router manual and your router settings page online, or contact your ISP or router manufacturer

Note: To check the wireless strength to your Squeezebox:

• Go to Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics

Squeezebox Touch can’t find all of the personal music on my computer

After you download and install Squeezebox Server, it will scan your computer for music An index of your music will be added to the Squeezebox Music Library

Make sure you have one music folder

If all of the music that you store on your computer does not show up from the Squeezebox My Music menu, make sure that your music files are all in one place on your computer You can store all of your files in a single folder, create subfolders to help organize your music, or add shortcuts to files that are in other folders The software you use to “rip” your CDs to digital files, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, may already do this

Make sure Squeezebox Server is scanning the right folder

Also, verify that Squeezebox Server is scanning the folder that contains your music:

Click on the Library tab

Verify that the Music Folder points to the folder on your computer that contains your music If not, enter the correct path to your music folder and click Apply

Check Tagging

If you don’t see your music listed as you expect when you go to My Music > Artists, Albums, it could be that it is not tagged correctly In this case, Squeezebox Server has successfully read all of your music but it is not listed as expected because music tags are not set correctly or are absent entirely

One way to confirm that incorrect tags are the issue:

• From the Home menu, go to My Music > Albums .

See if your albums are not catalogued correctly, or if there is a listing for “No Album” This is the category that Squeezebox

Server uses when it cannot find correct tags with which to categorize an album

There are a number of free and fee tag editors If your tag editor can clean out the tags entirely and re-create them, this will frequently fix the issue

Rescan your music folder

If Squeezebox Touch is not finding all of your music, try rescanning the music folder on your computer

To manually rescan your music collection:



2 In the Status tab, click Rescan

This feature is also useful if you make frequent changes to your music collection
