Hello, I hope one of you kind people can help with a problem with an Akurate DS.
I know this has been asked before by other posters, but at the moment all I can get the DS to do is to display a flashing blue dot on its display panel. The last thing DS-related I did before this, was to update Konfig. Then I didn't use the DS for a couple of days, and then noticed the flashing dot when I next tried to use it. Otherwise I have changed nothing on the network for some time.
Previous advice on the forum has focussed on the network connections. I have tried replacing the network cable to the DS with a new one, switching round the arrangement of cables, flashing the router's firmware, unplugging all the network cables except the DS, endlessly restarting the router and the DS, but the DS just sits there smugly flashing its dot. My router is otherwise functioning correctly, with its other hardware (including the QNAP NAS). Unfortunately I don't know anyone else who has a network on which I can try the DS.
To be honest, I've found streamer ownership a bit of a pain anyway. The components were fussy about the order they were switched on, I was irritated by the amount of time it took to boot everything up, and the software on the mobile phone I had to buy to even work the thing, was a bit clunky. So I'm on the verge of ditching it and buying a new CD player, unless someone can suggest something! Replace the router, maybe?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
SGS.
