Giga Juke

[Martin_Smith]

I have a sony giga juke.  It will not turn on using the remote - it is showing a blue flashing light as if it is in standby but the controls on the unit or the remote will not work.  This happended before and I had to turn it off at the mains.  Has anyone had this problem.

Hi - can anyone confirm that I am wasting my time trying to get the giga juke (wep security) connecting to my Bt home hub 2 (wpa security)?

My gigajuke will not recognise the router when I ask it to check for access points and I strongly suspect the wep/wpa issue is the reason.

Any ideas opinions welcome!!

I had a load of bother connecting the GigaJuke to the router via wifi; sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, connection speed wasn't always up to it either (the wifi dongle looks very directional). Thing is, WEP security is easily broken, so fiddling on with your router's configuration settings to enable it will decrease the overall securty of your network.

I tried homeplugs (my apartment is built like a concrete-covered Farrady cage so I use them everywhere else, and they are great) but, in the case of the GigaJuke that was a configuration nightmare too.

In the end I bought a long enough stretch of cat5 and just plugged it into the router, worked first time, works every time.

Hope this helps

THanks for reply. I'll have a try at changing router settings and see what happens. I'm quite rural so hopefully security risk is minimal.

Hi I have one of these units and had if for 5 years or so but lately I cannot seem to get it to connect to the internet or my local network. I am using a wired connection as this is not compatable with my Netgear Orbi system when using wifi.

I go through the procedure to connect it to the network and internet starting from scratch and it connects to the network and internet ok and comes back with DNS1 ok and I can stream music from it to my networked players ok.

However after it has been turned off it seems to go to "sleep" and loses connection to the network and internet, I cannot see it in any of my networked devices, when I check the settings on the unit it says connected to the nework but disconnected to the internet, on checking the units settings it comes back with the DNS1 as failed, when I go into the router settings it tells me the IP address of the unit but when I ping it it comes back with no reply, I have another one of these units and thios is doing excately the same, anyone else having this trouble?
