    Default Changed wireless channel - BB won't connect

    I've just changed my routers wireless channel from 1 to 13 as there is less interference. All my devices (Squeezebox's, pc's, laptops) connect fine apart from the BB, is there anything special I need to do?

    What is your SSID? Is there a ' in it?

    Did you poweroff/power on the box? When you go to settings does the Box see your router still?

    Yep, left it off for a min. Went through setup again and the BB couldn't see the network, I understand the US use channels 1 - 11, we can use up to 13 over here, maybe there's something in the code to limit 1 - 11?

    There is a bug that causes Boxee to have issues connecting to SSID's with a ' in it.

    try changing your router back to channel 1 or even 8 or something just to see if it works to narrow down your problem - could be a bug like you said about not supporting higher channels - at least this way if it reconnects we know its most likely software.
