These questions are purely about wifi with an NDX2, not the relative advantages of wifi/wired connection. I confirm that I have the latest versions of everything everywhere.
Two simple (I hope) questions:
Q1: I understand that the NDX2 cannot store the details of two networks and that the first network has to be replaced by the second. I would like to experiment changing from Network A to Network B, but I can’t find out how to do this. It doesn’t seem to be an option in the Naim app. How do I replace Network A with Network B on my NDX2? I set up Network A when the unit was new and have never seen any network-setup options since.
Q2: In the Naim App, under Network Settings/Wireless, does DCHP need to be enabled? Mine appears to be atm.
I’ve never tried to setup network twice. But at a guess you need to do all network configuration from the device itself. You possibly need to fist disable wifi on the ndx2 and then enable it again, this time selecting the alternative network?
Thanks. I just need to know HOW to do it at the device (I understand that it will probably have to be at the NDX2). I am hoping that someone has done it recently and can share.
So you wish to delete network A and connect to network B. To do this, you need to plug in a ethernet cable. This makes the mdx2 think it is connected via cable and then deletes wifi network A. Remove cable and go through WiFi setup again, this time connecting to wifi network B.
While DHCP makes things simpler, it isn’t necessary. I’ve never used it for my my wired devices at home. My NDX and UQ2 work perfectly fine without it.
For simplicity, I certainly recommend people just stick with DHCP, but I only use it for wifi.
I’m sure you’re right but it’s the word ‘just’ which is the problem. I have tried pressing the buttons on the front and am getting nowhere. I am hoping that someone who has actually done it will be able to help. I can’t find any instructions anywhere.
ok so, select home menu on remote, then select settings, then network settings, then wireless setup. When you select wireless setup it will clear current wifi network. You then select network setup menu and select new wifi network / enter password etc. I might have missed a step but when you press wireless setup it’ll be fairly obvious from there
It isn’t necessary to pay for web hosting but for the majority it is easier. I don’t pay though.
Whenever there is an issue with a streamer not being ‘found’ someone has usually buggered about with the network with (I exaggerate for effect ) 2 routers, 3 APs, 8 switches, static IPs etc
Me too. Only mobile devices are Wi-Fi everything else is wired.
I realise you haven’t asked this, and of course it depends on the reason why you are doing this, but could you simply swap over the SSIDs (and password) between the two networks
I understand that but on this occasion the AP for Network B is closer than that for A, but A is our ‘main’ family network, with umpteen devices connected,
) 2 routers, 3 APs, 8 switches, static IPs etc
