Its amazing just how much the honey-do list gets when you have a busted wing and cannot work on the list…
So…The Cradlepoint MBR95 router has failed altogether on its WiFi. All kinds of noise is present in the signal. It has since been replaced by a fancy new-to-me (oem certified) Linksys WRT3200ACM. This is a very sweet router, as long as you don’t put a 3rd DNS into it. Then it becomes unable to route.
Under the new router, the problems have all but disappeared. Both ROKUs (Ultra & Premiere+) have much stable-er signal when referring to the “secret wifi screen”. In particular, the Ultra is darn near rock stable with only 1-2 glitches occasionally per second. The WiFi signal / antenna1 and antenna2 meters are not dropping out. No dropped packets. And even more importantly, the temperature seems to have dropped by about 4C, it now runs 73/74C. Still a lot higher than what I prefer, but at least the bar isn’t turning red.
Tablo channels are still not right. I suspect it is going to be a hold-over from when I was running on the Cradlepoint router. Perhaps I have a damaged config from wifi dropping so much. Sometime tomorrow, I am going to uinstall the Tablo app from both ROKU devices, then set it back up again on one or the other. Once I get the channel list appearing correctly, I will be trying to do the same on the other ROKU.
On a slightly different note: The surround sound errors are beginning to piss me off. The device you are connected to does not support surround sound… Um, yeah it does. SS works in the other apps… Oh yeah, somebody has been monkeying with the soundbar again. And the audio settings on the ROKUs. I am this close to installing an IR transmitter and if you want to watch and hear TV, you will have to wear headphones. BBuy has a nice setup, incl 4 sets of headphones. I can just hear the silence coming… Ahhh.
