Help required please, I have SoundBridge M1001 and M500 units and Apple iMac running iTunes.
I have the M500 with active speakers in my office wired via ethernet cable direct to my wireless router which is then wired to my iMac, this works perfectly and streams music without delay or buffering.
I have the M1001 in my main listening room in another part of the house, it is wired direct to hi-fi amp and runs two set of speakers in separate rooms. It runs wirelessly to my router, with the iMac running the Firefly programme.
I am perfectly happy with the quality of the stream, however I do suffer buffering, I've improved my wireless router to try and increase the signal, but buffering continues.
Due to this I have decided to install an ethernet cable from the router to the M1001. However, though the M1001 says it is connected by ethernet cable, and the rear lights are lit, it will not show the music library. I have reinstalled the M1001 to factory settings and rebooted several times, I have also rebooted the router and iMac/iTunes, the lengthy cable (30m) has been checked with the M500 and is fine, I have also disabled Firefly but it will not show the music from iTunes as the M500 does..
Can anyone help with tips or ideas to cure this before I install the cable through walls and under carpets. Many thanks. MIke
