Connecting Your Stream to Wi-Fi


 

Hi Alexander

Do you know the SSID (name) of your network and the Password? If you do, I could send you instructions on connecting your Stream to your wi-fi network.

Pele West


 

Alex, you would be well advised to take up Pele's offer of help. You will be in good hands if you do.


If you can get someone to read the SSID and password which should be on a label stuck to your router you will be off to a good start.? Make a note of those if you can.


I have two Wi-Fi connections set up on my Stream and Trek.? One for my landline internet provider the other for linking to my phone's Wi-Fi tethering option which I sometimes have to enable to get a connection as, from time to time, the Stream refuses to find my main landline connection.


One valuable addition the Humanware and other competitor Wi-Fi enabled accessible radio/players could usefully incorporate is an ability to connect directly to a 4G data connection but I doubt that will ever happen.

Hi Ray and Everyone

The first thing we did when connecting to the outside world was to rename our network to a name we could remember, and reset the password. We have done this every time we get a new routher.

This means we don't have to reset all our devices each time we change our provider or upgrade our broadband.

Hi Pele
Please could you post the step by step instructions on how to connect the VRS or the Trek to a network. We know our password etc.
Many thanks
Henry

Hi Pele,

I can't access the SSID for my wi-fi at present, as I'm playing music on my Pixel 4A, but when I'm not playing music I believe I can use my Pixel 4A to find out the SSID and the password for my WI-FI, although I do know I have the password stored on either my 2nd generation stream itself as a note, or stored on my wife's 1st generation stream as a note.

If you are able to send me the information, please can you send it to which ever of my e-mail addresses is easier for you. My two different e-mail addresses are as follows:
Alexander.c.t.shannon@...
Or
Alexander.shannon@...

Thank you in advance for the information.

Hi Ray,

As you'll read in a message, I've replied to Pele on list accepting her offer of help, and observing that I believe I have a way of finding the SSID and that I have the password stored somewhere which I can access.

Hi Pele,

Although my wife and I haven't had our various routers reset to a name we can remember as such, we've asked the engineers to continue using the same name for the new router as for the previous one. I assume it's that name to which you are referring when you mention the SSID, am I correct?

Hi Ray/all,

If you find that the Stream refuses to connect to your wireless router, setting that router to channel 11 seems to help.

Unfortunately the instructions to do this are bespoke as it depends on the model of router and requires logging into its control panel to manipulate its settings.

If you have access to a friendly techy though, it can be worth doing.

Cheers,

Ed
