Airplay

Airplay speakers are a disaster with orbi right now. Can't get them to play for more than a song or two on orbi.

Re: Airplay

checking the notes for my prior router update, for airplay stability the CTS/RTS setting was dropped down to 2346.  I've updates ORBI to reflect the same change and tesitng now.

Re: Airplay

Hello,

 

When I saw your posts, I went and checked my RTS/CTS setting and it seems to be by default at the top end of the adjustment range: 2347.  Was yours at 2347 by default as well?

 

And changing it by one digit lower, it has made a positive difference in data streams being interrupted?

Re: Airplay

It has helped me, I have noticed that sometimes the airplay speakers take 1-2 mins to settle in on their connections.

Re: Airplay

I've had one speaker with a couple dropouts over hours of play, much improved, not perfect.
