To most of the Connect users who know about networking this may not effect you. To the rest of the Connect users who are not as Tech orriented this may help in any connetivity issued you may be facing.
If you are having a difficult time connecting to your router, first thing we need to do is contact your Internet Service provider (ISP) . If that is where you recieved your router, and make sure weather or not your router is set to “Static” or “DHCP”.
This can cause several delays in connection.
Alot of times if Your ISP uses all Static on the router, You may have to manually have them assist you in programming in the MAC address and setting an IP for your device.
With DHCP this is not an Issue. If you are set up as DHCP, and you are still unable to connect, We then need to check for MAC Filtering.
I am considering buying a “non wifi” Connect on ebay and have downloaded the Device Recovery Setup. I keep reading that this resets the device to enable WiFi, but does it roll back the firmware? If so does that limit the size of MicroSDHC card you can use?

I’m not sure whether the firmware version number moves backwards or forwards, but no functionality is lost. You only gain Internet Radio. I’m using the Internet Radio firmware with a 16GB microSDHC card.
Anyone having connection problems to Internet radio as of 3/23/2010? I’m seeing the “(X) Can’t play station - try again later” error after the “Connecting…” message.

Yep, I’m having the same problem. It could be temporary, this has happened before. Or it could be that Launchcast streaming has finally been shut off to Sansa Connects.
Not related, but I notice that Flickr Photo viewing is still working.
Let me know if any of you find anything else out. It figures though. Now that the weather is getting nice outside here was looking forward to using the wireless music function on the deck (and beyond). Just tried to connect yesterday and got the “Can’t play station - try again later” message and still getting it. Guess our gravy train has left. Wish we could hack these players to get Slacker.
