Purchased a U1 mini in December 2021. Setup went fine with no issues – it has had a few firmware and app (Apple) updates since new.

No problems since day one - but last night while listening the app went completely blank and non-responsive (while the music continued). Only thing I could select was settings – and it didn’t show the U1 mini. After the music stopped I attempted to stream via AirPlay from the Qobuz app - that also didn’t work (Airplay said it couldn't connect to the U1 mini).

I re-installed the Lumin app then turned the U1 mini off then on again – still no response from the app. Then I tried turning off the U1 mini for a few minutes – then on again and that seemed to do the trick.

I’m using the streamer via a wireless access point to get a tethered connection. During the issue there didn’t seem to be any problems with the access point (appropriate status lights were on). Other devices such a cell phone and computer had wireless connections.

I leave the unit on standby when not using – could that cause something like this to happen every so often? Or is this type of behavior expected occasionally when using a wireless access point or is it something else?

I realize anything that is computer based will sometimes require re-start to resolve – I’m just curious if I’m doing something wrong or if other users have had this happen.

Thanks
 
In case this happens again please power cycle the whole network especially including the router and access point. Lumin requires multicast that your cell phone and computer don't use.
 
Peter - thanks for the quick reply and tip. Is this type of issue more likely to happen if using an access point vs. a tethered connection? Would leaving it powered off between listening reduce the occurrence?

One other thing - I did notice since updating the app (Apple) that the Qobuz menu sometimes showed 0's for all favorites, etc. (it was fine prior to update to v7.2.0). Only after selecting selecting Qobuz home a few times did my favorites, etc. appear normal - just an FYI - not sure if it is related.

Thanks again
