Re-assigning mac address keeps disrupting wired speaker
Goodmorning,
At irregular times my KEF LS50 Wirelsess speakers lose connection. They are wired to the RBR50-sattelite.
Now I noticed that the loss of connection coincides with the log beneath: 192.168.1.10 is assigned (fixed) to my speaker. For no reason at all connection is broken exactly on the times when this happens. It happens in periods of 2-3 hours in a row, with irregular intervals. And during the week maybe one or two days this happens.

I am not an in-depth technical guy so I hope someone has a simple solution to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

René

Can you please clarify this: The spec I found on the product web site indicate 2.4G/5G WiFi. They do not show an ethernet jack.

- ReneKAspirantYes indeed, it has a network-port and I connected my speakers to it. Works fine, if not interrupted...
- CrimpOnGuru - Experienced UserYou are absolutely correct. I found a picture of the back side of the main speaker that clearly shows the RJ45 network jack.
Does the speaker drop out when connected with WiFi?
