Calibre Companion no longer connects

BSewer · 07-02-2015, 01:51 PM

I am continuing the have trouble with CC connections. It seems that I need to recycle my router every time I want to connect with Calibre. How can I fix this so it will just connect?

Thank you

Sounds like your routers WiFi is dying .

Did you override the CC default and enter a IP into the configuration.
That will disable the server rediscovery that might be needed due to a new IP lease.

If I understand you correctly, rebooting your router but not the device or the computer running calibre fixes connection problems for a short time.

If the above is true then I agree with theducks, the strong implication is that the router is failing. There are several different failure modes, but all of them result in not sending packets between devices.

Also to agree with theducks: if CC is not using "automatic connections" then rebooting the router might put its state back where it was when you determined which IP address to enter into CC. This is especially true if you also reboot the computer running calibre. If at all possible try running CC with its wireless device connection IP address & port set to "automatic" (use defaults).

Poor device (relative to each other) locations can lead to early WiFi failures .

The poorer the signal (bars) at the device, the more power the router needs to put out.

Best: is open field (line of sight from router Antenna to device)
Walls, plants, furniture in that direct path all add to signal reduction, forcing the router (and device) to try and over power those impeding objects.

General rule of thumb is to place the Router High and near the center of the Usage area (maintains the shortest cleanest path distance to all common usage locations)
