Troubleshooting
Reset your Squeezebox

I don't have my wireless network name and password
If you don't know your network name and password and you have a wireless network, do the following:
- Check to see if you have them written down somewhere
- Ask someone else in your home if they know them
- Contact the person who set up your home network
- Check your router manual
- Contact your router manufacturer for assistance
As part of the setup process, you need the name and password that were assigned to your wireless network when it was installed. A network name is sometimes referred to as an SSID, and a password is sometimes referred to as a wireless key, or security key
I can't find my network
If your network does not appear in the list of wireless networks, do the following:
- Make sure Squeezebox Touch is within range of your wireless network
- Go to your computer to make sure your network is working
- If your router is configured to not broadcast your network name (SSID), select Other Networks at the bottom of the list of networks, and enter yours
- Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in
- Refer to your router documentation or contact the manufacturer for assistance
Password not accepted
If your password was not accepted, do the following:
- Try entering it again There could be a typo
- Convert your password from ASCII to hexadecimal. If your network password is not accepted, it could be in ASCII format. (This only applies to WEP passwords that are either 5 or 13 characters in length)
For more information, see our Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com/support.
Network connection not made
If Squeezebox Touch does not connect to your home network, do the following:
- Confirm that you have selected the correct network name
- Try selecting your network name again, or rename your network. If yours has a common name such as linksys, there could be multiple networks of that name in your neighborhood. One way to avoid this issue is to rename your wireless network to a more unique name
- Enter a static IP address. If your router is not set to use DHCP to assign IP addresses, your Squeezebox will display an Address Problem screen. From there, you can enter your IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address. For help with this, contact the person who set up your wireless network, or your router vendor*
- Turn off MAC filtering. If your router is using MAC filtering, turn it off or add the MAC address on the bottom of your Squeezebox to the router's table of allowed devices
- Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in and try the setup process again
- Contact your router vendor for assistance
* Squeezebox Touch normally relies on a DHCP server to provide an IP address during setup. If you prefer to use a static IP address, you can do it one of two ways:
- Make sure your DHCP server is off, and input a static IP address when Squeezebox Touch displays the a ppropriate screen
- Set up and connect your Squeezebox as normal using DHCP. After setup is complete, go to the Settings screen and change the IP address by entering it manually
For more information on how to set a static IP address, go to: www.mysqueezebox.com/support.
Music is not playing
- If music is not playing, do the following:
- Check the cables to your stereo or powered speakers to make sure they are connected properly
- Check the input selector on your stereo to make sure it matches the inputs you used
- Check the volume on your stereo
- Add exceptions to your firewall software. If you are listening to music from your computer (using Squeezebox software), make sure there are no firewall warnings on your screen and make sure your firewall has the proper exceptions. Required exceptions include: port 3483 UDP, port 3483 TCP, and port 9000 TCP
- As a test, try playing a different song
- If Squeezebox Touch says "Stopped," check your internet connection
I can't find my music collection in My Music
If you want to play the music collection that is stored on your computer but your computer name does not appear in My Music, do the following:
- Make sure that you've installed Squeezebox software from www.mysqueezebox.com.
- Make sure Squeezebox software is running
- Windows - Hover your mouse pointer over the software icon in your task bar. If you don't see "Squeezebox software Running," right-click on the icon and select Start Squeezebox software
- Macintosh - Click on System Preferences, and then click on Squeezebox software. If the button displays Start Server, click it. If the button is labeled Stop Server, the application is already running
- If you are using a third-party firewall such as Trend Micro, Norton, McAfee or OneCare, please see our Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com/support and search for articles on your specific firewall. If your firewall is not covered by our Knowledge Base, add exceptions for three ports as follows: port 3483 UDP, port 3483 TCP, and port 9000 TCP
For information on how to make this change in your firewall software, search the internet for "exceptions, ports, <your firewall application name>," or contact technical support for your firewall software - If your network uses multiple routers or Voice over IP (VOIP) or you're on a corporate network that has a complex or segmented network configuration, ensure that your computer and Squeezebox Touch are on the same network segment. This allows Squeezebox Touch to automatically connect to Squeezebox software on your computer
