'Analog Dinosaur' succumbs to the joys of FBA : enter Raspberry Pi 2/IQ-Audio DAC+!!

Thanks for the tip, I have been meaning to look into this for a while

Unfortunately it appears my old Belkin modem/router does not support this option.

The setup manual is available online.
There's reference in it to DHCP Client List - that looks like a reasonable place to start.

Thanks for info, from the manual "The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network."

Unfortunately I don't think you can set a static ip address in moode, certainly not in the Network setup page.

Every router I've logged into for administration access can have DHCP serving turned on or off.
It's something many IT companies do because they have the capability of running the DHCP off the main server.

That, however, is nothing to do with the DHCP Client List.
Clients on the network are the devices that run on it, so it's your laptop/tablet/printer/etc ......

So a static ip for a wireless connection needs manual configuration on the RPi, which you may not want to attempt.

For clarification the the manual statement you quote is simply pointing out with no DHCP running on your router (or elsewhere on your network) ALL devices need manual config of a static ip. It does NOT mean you cannot use a combination of devices assigned ip addresses by DHCP and those you give a fixed ip address to. See my earlier comment re: IP pool range of the router DHCP.

The setup manual is available online.
There's reference in it to DHCP Client List - that looks like a reasonable place to start.

The DHCP client list is simply a list of the ip addresses currently assigned to devices on your network which are identified by their MAC address in the list. Knowing the MAC address of your devices would be useful if you wished to apply "address reservation" but, as already discussed in #1557, this BELKIN router does not have that facility. So "the client list" is of no help.

Thanks guys, my network is a mixture of fixed and DHCP assigned ip addresses.

Thanks guys, my network is a mixture of fixed and DHCP assigned ip addresses. On another note any one have any idea why my netgear modem/router downloads at half the speed of my belkin modem/router on the same connection?

Got me a linear power supply for my Pi now.

I had a 15v MCRU/LDA power supply which was spare and MCRU agreed to convert it 5v for free which was really good of them

I also made myself a custom case for it that matches the case of the power supply - why? - cause I thought it would look cool

I bought the case and a bunch of Neutrik connectors and cut out a few holes to fit them. Very pleased with how is looks

Here are some pics:

The only connectors on the back apart from power are USB and Ethernet.

The USB is connected to my iFi iUSB, iFi Gemini cable and iFi iDAC2 which sounds fantastic

I use Volumio as a DNLA renderer only and use my Synology NAS and the DS Audio app (which is excellent) to send music to Volumio.

Looks great!

can I ask where you got the 90 degree micro USB to 2.1mm DC adapter from?
