UQ and n-Stream - "no devices found"

Posted by: Benji on 13 April 2011

This is most likely a very n00b question, but having recently purchased a UQ, I'm having trouble using the n-Stream app to control the UQ. Setup was easy, I have eyeconnect running on a MacBook Pro and have no problem streaming my music over (although it is slow to load lists and start playback, even on a wifi N network?).

 

But I digress. The MBP, UQ and my iPhone 4 are all on the same wifi network. But when I try to setup the n-Stream app, it searches and finally tells me "No devices found". I'm running the 2.0 version of the app, and the UQ has firmware 3.0.00, Boot 1.2.03, and BC SW 10733.

 

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrongly?

Also there are differences between the different vintage Home Hubs, some seem to work better than others, there is plenty of discussion on the subject on the internet.

 

TBH I would recommend getting rid of the HH and getting as standard WiFi router (Netgear or similar). 

Thanks TJ. Ill get a netgear and test that.
