Have you tried Automatic DHCP not a static? if you have to use a static can you set the static to a higher number? IP's tend to get assigned to devices in sequence-ish. so low numbers like 192.168.1.10 will be used before 192.168.1.50. you might have a device that is trying to step on your...- mthaynes

Was able to run a few tests last night and was not able to create an issue where I could not connect and maintain the connection. Keep in mind I am not on an Orbi. Considering the Orbi is a relatively new device from Netgear it may be worth checking to see that you have the latest firmware on...- mthaynes

Mesh networks like the Orbi can cause a number of issues with older devices. newer stuff has less of an issue. I have a Netgear wifi router -not the orbi. I took my old Netgear wifi router and turned it into an "access point" type device to increase the size of my wifi-network. this is a...- mthaynes

Are you using android file transfer? Sometimes AFT is a little odd. My first suggestion is to cold boot the apple (turn off and turn back on - not a restart) and then try the connection. this will ensure that only minimal applications will be running. If after several tests you get a good...- mthaynes

This is supper annoying and I feel for you. I actually just replaced my 2016 MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro.

there is some discussion on prior pages on M1 based Mac's having communication issues with the AK. the solution has been to use a USB C to USB A converter and then connecting the USB A to the AK via another cable. I don't know if you have tried this. I know it is not the ideal solution, but...- mthaynes

Hi Jason, Theoretically any USB C to USB A will work. the USB A interface within the dongle "should" slow the connection speed to the USB A standard. there is a huge amount of confusion about USC C. here is the 50 thousand foot perspective of the readers digest version of the cliff notes...- mthaynes

Thanks for the information on the M1 chip issues. I know when I upgraded to Big Sur on my non m1 chip MacBook Pro I had a few issues with docks and 8817 chipsets for networks. long story short Big Sur requires updated drivers to work with USB. Apple told the world that they were doing this...- mthaynes

Hi Steve. have had similar issues ?(not exactly the same, but similar) I have found that you have to import in chunks rather than selecting an entire directory.

1st step is. to determine if you are going to use the DAC in the SP2000 or rely on a external DAC. if you are using a the DAC in the SP2000 (after all that is why you paid all the money for in the SP2000) and analog connection into an analog amp is the most direct choice (note I did not say...- mthaynes

Strangely I had a problem transferring files using commander one after the update. A reboot (turning off the player and restarting - not a factory reset) also resolved the issue. Also rebooted the laptop which could have been an issue as well, but who knows.- mthaynes
