If they work they sound absolutely fab.
but.....
quite often I have one of these two problems (or even both)
1) No wifi connection, so no way of controlling it via the app. where as my home wifi network is stable.
2) No sound/activity at all. They are connected through a high end RCA cable to my Marantz SR8012 receiver.
and it drives me crazy up to the level as being ready to sell them off. Despitethe great sound.
any thoughts, help?
thanks
Peter

Hi Peter
cabel is way to go, I had these problems in the beginning, but after 3 days, I went with cables. My BL50s has run flawlessly since- 3 mouths now.
I am running BeoVision Eclipse 65 wisa to bl50 and bl18, no problem what so ever.

Try a LAN over Powerline. Devolo/D-Link etc..
Much better/solid connection than wifi and with the right model you can power-through the Adapter to your BL50 master.

Cheaper models available.
I find it just hard to believe that B&O still can't seem to figure out how to do WiFi in this day and age, and on a product as expensive as the BL50! The WIFi on my $500 Auralic Mini works flawlessly, ditto on my $500 Samsung TV.
I think B&O would be better served by never having put WiFi in high end speakers, rather than putting in WiFi that doesn't work. All that does is frustrate owners and lead to public relations problems for B&O. The idea of it is great but only if the execution is also great.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Thanks all
I will indeed go through the nasty process of adding a network cable through my setup. It needs a few hours of cabling work unfortunstely due to a nasty setup of my living. I am comfortable that the wifi issue will be solved.As for the Marantz/no sound issue. I will change RCA outputs to see if that helps.Otherwise I am still puzzled.
Thanks guys for your supportMuch appreciated
Pathetic indeed. Guess it is time for me personally to completely give up on B&O.

Michael: Esax: Why not apple airport express Or these small TP-link. I use them a lot with devices that fail on WiFi. They can be used as bridges. Meaning take WiFi and send it on over Ethernet to the speakers. Cheap and EXTREMELY small. Just about 5x5 cm. Can be powered over usb. So probably doesn’t even need power from the wall, only from Beolab 50.

I may be incorrect but I think those devices take a lot of bandwith from the WIFI in the backhaul.
With Powerline adapters no WIFI is involved.
I'm also having the same issues and it annoys the hell out ot me. I have an eclipse and have then connected via WISA. All the other products in the range work ok on WIFI like my core and eclipse.
Whats the link for the TPLINK modules.

Thanks allot Michael, Have you tested these on the USB port of the 50's? I dont really fancy putting an ugly cable from my router to the 50s.

So I was finally home again to test the wired setup.
I plugged in a network cable and one speaker (the master) started to ply straight away.So I did a factory reset in the 50's and now everything is working fine again.I did a room compensation calibration with the mic and created a few presets. (Movies and Hi-Fi)Now let's hope all stays fine with the wired connection.
If anything does go wrong again I will report back, so no news is good news!
Thanks for all your help and support.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Hi, My problem with my Beolab 50 is that they sometimes randomly looses contact between slave and Master speaker (fast orange flashing light in Master-speaker).
I got my speakers replaced a couple of weeks ago but last night it did happen again with the new speakers.
I wonder how many Beolab 50-owners who really suffers from this unstable connection between Master and slave-speaker. I hope that as many as possible is complaining to B&O Support so they finaly will fix this issue. Otherwise it is a fantastic speaker.

Do you happen to have the Eclipse in the setup, maybe?
If yes, this might help:

Hi MM,
I dont think that my problem with BL50 has to do with the Eclipse (Master looses connection with Slave).
I have also have an discussion with Mikipedi4 regarding this BL50 issue.
I use Powerlink to my BL50 and hardwired both Eclipse and Bl50 with Ethernetcable. I avoid Wifi as much as I can!.
But Thanks anyway.
Have a nice weekend!
