Hello,
Re-using this older topic because I have a similar experience.
At a customer I have 4x SL312AI tops and 2x SL18sAI subs. I have used the system twice now and it working great, except fpr the networking part.
Each performance my time to play with the speakers is limited and the last time I succeeded to put the latest (or the the one that I have) of the firmware on the tops and subs. Which is v5959. That went allright, I guess. I mean I followed the instructions and they still work...
Have to find out the next time how to check this.
Just before the first set of the concert I was able to enter the WiFi name and password in the 3 speakers of the left side of the stage - because my network cable was in this area to hardwire the speaker to the switch. That worked like a breeze. I disconnected the Ethercon cable of the last speaker and repowered the AI speakers. And voilá, All 3 speaker visable in Room Control. Note: I did this one by one because I had one long Ethercon cable.
But after the show's last set, when I could walk over the stage with my Ethercon cable again, things started to get hairy. I performed the same WiFi initialisation, but when I was ready I ended up with one speaker of the last right part of the PA, loosing the other side. So basically 5 speakers were missing and everything was switched on with WiFi dongles.
What could have gone wrong?
Was it because the other speakers were still on, also being connected but wirelessly and the one I working on wired?
Also, it was very unclear which AI speaker the wireless accesspoint setting window was referring to!
Any advice how to proceed the next time when I have the change to shortly work with the set? Which unfortunately be in weeks.
