Have you tried turning the V1 off overnight, then in the morning before turning it back on, turn off and unplug your router and all connections to it for 5 mins or so, then back on followed by the V1 back on once the router is up and running?
No guarantees this will work, but essentially you are doing a hard reset/reboot on all devices which would be my starting point in this situation.
Keep us posted, Simon.
B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.
Razlaw:I have a V1 that has been connected to my WiFi for years with no problems. A few days ago I replaced my WiFi system. The V1 now has a much stronger signal than before. However, it will not stay connected. After multiple disconnects I did a reset on the V1 and started all over. It stayed connected for several hours but then disconnected again. Any thoughts?
Generally speaking, devices which sleep (such as your TV, Apple TV and so on) will often disconnect from your wifi network and attempt to reconnect when you start or open the device. This is normal behaviour. It's just a case of your router dynamically allocating the device a different IP address each time.
You can get around this by fixing your IP address. We advised this for A9 users who (like me) complained it would often disconnect even when streaming audio. Fixing the IP address usually helps.
Another thing you might want to check is your wifi frequency. Modern routers are now set to automatically find the least congested frequency, but as there are now so many routers being used by our neighbours, and so few frequencies, either your router is clashing with another within the same frequency or is reconnecting to another to avoid clashing. When this happens, if your TV is in standby, it will automatically disconnect from your network.
The way around this is to set your wifi frequency to a fixed number. Use a wifi frequency checker tool to see if there's one no other router uses and fix yours to this number: https://www.howtogeek.com/197268/how-to-find-the-best-wi-fi-channel-for-your-router-on-any-operating-system/
