Anybody have a Sony internet media streamer? (Tech Help)
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...1666261253
I do. And I'm ready to put a fucking bullet through the thing. When it works I use it to watch Netflix in my bedroom. But it always loses it's connection to my wifi. I was doing the unplug/reboot thing and that was working fine but it was just a bit annoying having to reboot my router every time I wanna watch Netflix before bed. As of last night, it refuses to connect to my wifi. I've re-entered the key and such but no go. It gets to step 3 (the final step) of connecting waits a while and then tells me there's a network error. FUCKINGASSSHITCOCK this is annoying as fuck. My Wii connects fine in my bedroom but this fucking pile will not.
Any help? Thank you in advance.

In my experience any type of wireless sending device (routers, slingboxes) tend to go to shit fairly quick, like within a year or two. My current one will periodically lose connection similar to what you're talking about.

I would try returning it, and if you have the same problem try replacing your router.

I have a Sony media player in my room. Took forever to get it to fucking connect right, ended up having to buy a signal booster.

The thing is all of my other devices connect fine to the router. It's just this piece that's having all the problems.
Liz: How much did the signal booster cost? I've seen somebody make one out of a pop can that was recommended by Mythbusters. But my router/modem doesn't have an external antenna.
