Problem with a Binatone 4824 Tranciva 3 in one radio

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the above radio but I have a problem, when I choose the internet radio mode the display comes up with ' network wizard scanning' and it does not do anything else. The FM and DAB work fine.

Help please

Do you have it connected to the Internet?, and have you gone through the network setup procedure.

it just sits there with the display as stated i once gave you the options to select a network and put the passwork in

I can't make head nor tail of your answer in Post #3.

I've had a good Google but the only Binatone internet radio I found was the Tranciva IR804 which was unveiled in August 2008 and was last sold in 2010 (on Amazon). There is no model 4824. Google found the OP's recent thread in the Radio Forum where the advice was to ask in the TV forum.

Reading through the customer reviews on Argos from 2008, one customer said that this model (IR804) isn't compatible with wireless 'N' routers, so that might be the problem.

I can't find any manuals online and unless anyone is still using the IR804 and can advise, I suggest you contact Binatone UK on this page (click on the balloon in England) to get the UK helplines: http://www.binatoneglobal.com/contact/

I read it as

"It just sits there with the display as stated in the OP. It once gave you the option to select a network and put the password in"

If so that sounds like the WiFi has gone belly up. If it is not seeing any network at all (and assuming there are networks to find of course) it does sound like something has happened to stop the WiFi side working.

Ditto. Only reference to 4824 I found was this tread!

binatone tranciva ir804 it is

I've searched high and low on the net and eventually found a link to the IR804 manual on Binatone's UK site, but the site and link are dead. The only other useful stuff I found out are that the radio only has a wireless connection and that it uses the Frontier Silicon chipset. Source: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/fm-d...only-49-430939

Whether Frontier Silicon can help you I don't know but here's their website and if you click Contact Us you are taken to a web form where you can ask for help: http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com/se...gin/SignIn.asp

Bearing in mind that support for this radio has ceased, how come that it's only now you are having trouble connecting? Did you buy the radio secondhand?

It's been sitting in a box for about 18 months and yes I have a silicon wifi account
