Soundtouch 10 will not stay connected to my BT extender

[BrianW]

My Soundtouch 10 speakers will not stay connected  to my Bt1200 extender. They connect perfectly to the strong signal from the extender then after a few hours they revert to the weaker signal from the router. The extender is within the same room.

Any ideas please.

Hello BrianW,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community, I am sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your SoundTouch 10. As the speaker remembers past wifi connections, it could be that there is a loss of connection from the extender meaning the speaker is connecting to the main router instead. To avoid this happening I would recommend resetting the speaker to factory settings, then reconnect to the wifi extender only. 

To factory reset the speaker:

1. Press Power to turn on the system
2. Press and hold the system's 1 and Volume – buttons for 10 seconds: All front LEDs glow solid after 1 second; after 10 seconds, all front LEDs blink white
3. ​When the front LEDs blink white, release the buttons to reboot the system. The LEDs light from left to right several times during reboot
4. When the Wi-Fi LED glows solid amber, launch the SoundTouch app on your computer or mobile device and add the system to your network
5. Press Power to turn on the system

I hope this helps, please let me know how you get on!

Kindest regards,

Do i need to do this process each time the ST 20 or ST 10 drops out? Over the past two weeks each device has dropped out 2-3 times necessitating a reset or re-adding the device through the app.

Is resetting and adding a device 2-3 times every two weeks is an acceptable solution? NW etc all good as per other troubleshooting advice on this issue.
