Ash,

This should be quite simple. Probably best to opt to set up the existing one as wireless to get this visible and then when you add the second one the option to use wireless will be the default (if that makes sense).

Once you have the second one set up (you might want to change the names for the receivers to help things!) you can change the existing one back to ethernet.

Let us know if that helps!!

Anthony

Ash,

Can't see why another home plug wouldn't work. How about trying with the same homplug on the new receiver to test and get set up - do you run DHCP or have you set static IPs??

If this works then you could get another home plug and bosh done!

Anthony

PS The NAS should not be the issue as this is the source (one of them anyway) of your music files and not the Squeeze box network in your home (I hope that makes sense - the network will work with the NAS off - Internet Radio, Napster etc!)

Hi Anthony,

I have it sorted now thanks to you
I re-set network on remote then input my router usser name and password then it showed me my two recievers so set one to wired and the other wireless
The only thing i find with the logitech Duit is its a pain in the A%$£ to set up or very long winded but other then that i love it...

Thanks for all your help

No probs Ash,

Glad it is all sorted! If you have an iPhone I can recommend the iPeng software (also works on iPod Touch) - it rocks!!!

Anything else just let us know!

Anthony
