    Ok that worked. Thank you! I now have an issue with the player cutting out. I will start a new thread.

    How do I rename the device if I can’t connect via http://max2play/?

    I did not notice that. When I reinstalled last night I must have mounted the old one which was still sitting in my downloads folder. Lovely.

    I will fix that tonight and go through this again.

    That was just about eternally frustrating. I followed your instructions this morning and got connected. the one thing I did differently this time is I left the ethernet plugged in until after I was disconnected from power. I left it connected today and monitored it remotely. It appeared to stay connected.

    When I got home and started working on it about two hours ago I was trying to use the Spotty app to play via Spotify Connect to the max2play device. No sound. I had power lights, and the optical light was lit, but no sound. Max2play appeared in the LMS web UI. So I swapped out the optical cable and some sound started coming through intermittently. That seemed really odd to me. I was switching the cable back, and the power came disconnected. That set me off on two hours of fiddling around. Something timed out at some point and I had to start over with a new image. Not a big deal, right, probably worthwhile. So I start from scratch, get it all set up. Get through it all and I CANNOT get the wifi to connect. Again, I am walking back and forth trying to get this going. Every time I am on ethernet I can hit http://max2play/ immediately. As soon as I shut down and power up I can not connect to wifi. I double and triple check the wifi settings. Nothing.

    I do not want to be without music, so I pull the old squeezebox duet from the drawer and I have that connected and playing within 20 minutes. On that note – I should say that I also have a SB Touch on this network and it works flawlessly.

    As a last ditch effort I try WPS with the max2play (which was not working yesterday) and it connected. This makes no sense to me.

    I am not smart enough to put some sort of monitoring on the digi+ to try to figure out why it is not working. I mean, just when I decide the wifi on the rpi3 must be broken, I get connected. Like I am right now. That reminds me – you know what is the WORST? At one point after I was ready to shutdown from the ethernet, I decided I did not want to unplug from power and walk over to my desk and plug into that power for the switch to wifi… so I left it on the power by the router… And I connected to wifi. Awesome… unplug, walk over to the computer, hook to power… nothing. But that power supply is the one that it is connected to right now, working. So it is not the power supply.

    My last recent post was on Feb 24. It ran flawlessly until yesterday. Basically three months. And then flawlessly ceases to exist.

    If you have any pointers or diagnostics I can run, I am open to ideas.

    I coped this at one point, when I was connected to ethernet:

    I am back to not being able to connect via wifi. Today my hifiberry went offline and I could not get it to come back online, so as I was troubleshooting I decided to update the software. I went through the process of mounting the new image (m2p_stretch_rpi_245.img).

    After the upgrade I was connected via wifi but the digi+ was not working. I saw a message on one of the pages that I needed to reboot to get the digi+ working and I did that. No wifi. So I try the WPS twice. No wifi. Plug in the ethernet cable I can connect just fine. Try WPS again. No wifi. Again and again. I am wearing out my carpet walking between the hifiberry and router.

    What do I do now?

    EDIT – my credentials are entered on the wifi page. I see no max2play access point.

    So now I have:
    Status: WiFi USB adapter status is active. WiFi connection status is active (IP: 192.168.1.13 192.168.189.1)

    But how does this WPS thing work? My router reported success, but I had the ethernet cable plugged in so I was not connected via wifi. When I unplugged the ethernet cable and restarted the pi, it did not connect to wifi.

    The instruction says: „Wifi Protected Setup: Enable WPS in your Router and reboot Max2Play to automatically set up WiFi. Starts only, if no LAN-cable connected!“

    But then below there is a big button to Start Automatic Wifi Setup. How do I hit that button if ethernet is not connected?

    So I started WPS on the router, and then restarted the pi, and I have wifi! It is working.

    But I still do not understand if I needed to do the WPS or if I am connecting because the SSID and password are filled out?
