Hoping everyone is enjoying the Easter Holiday. Thanks for the suggestions regarding my TP-Link wi-fi extender and switch. I've tried removing these individually and both at the same time from my router setup, but to no avail. I'm not totally surprised, because it does seem to be too much of a coincidence that my problems started immediately after downloading the Sooloos update, before which everything was functioning satisfactorily.
I'm not sure where to go from here. At the moment, provided I remember to re-boot my router after firing up the computer, everything is OK. If I shut down the computer or put it on standby I then need to re-boot the router to be able to access Control:PC. I shall probably try calling Meridian, but I'm not overly confident that they will be able to help.
A couple of points. When I look at my router network map I see my MD600 but not my MS600, whereas on the Fink network scanner the MS600 is shown. Should I be expecting to see the MS600 on my router network? It is obviously working because I'm able to use the system. Also, I'm wondering if the problem could be anything to do with the DHCP settings, although nothing has changed? I'm reluctant to start messing with this because I have no knowledge on the subject and somewhere in Meridian's on-line information it says:- "It is never a good idea to turn off DHCP for Meridian Sooloos components and manually assign static IP addresses unless you fully understand networking and IP Addressing."
In my router network map, when I look at the information for my MD600, the box is ticked next to 'Add device into Static DHCP'. As mentioned earlier in this email, I do not see the MS600 in the router network. Oh, the joy that a simple download can produce!
