Problems with your Fosi S3

Look for an "advanced" tab or button in the router's "network" or "internet" settings. Most modern routers will let you change whether DNS address is automatically received from the ISP or set manually. See pic of my router showing where I changed DNS. Some routers may not let you do this, and you temporarily have to copy sheeting like IP address, subnet mask and reuse them.
If you do change DNS, all devices on you LAN will get this DNS address over DHCP.
I use my system like this all the time, as I have had connectivity or speed issues when using my ISPs DNS - but it may not help with your issue; it may be easier for you to wait until Fosi come up with a response !

I got the update here in France last month. I used the firmware update option in the Fosi IOS app.
That's great - I think the OP has been trying the same to get the update!

hold the phone......Fosi Support got back to me and gave detailed instructions on how to update manually and..this is the weird part....now there is a firmware file on their website under S3 Manuals and Downloads. I for sure checked this before and it was NOT there. Once you can get the file it is pretty straight forward. We'll see.

Cheers mate, same to you.
LoL, nah, nothing like that.did you see any hardware jumpers inside this thing?...like "do not allow updates"
Much better, glad to hear.

Sounds like it's a Bluetooth remote as opposed to IR. Having to re-pair would be a deal breaker for me - I'm hoping yours is faulty. Err, no I'm not, but you know what I mean!
Yes, it's BT paired, so don't have to point at the streamer. The gripe is the BT switch has to be turned on via the app and then re-pair/select the remote.
Yes.
Has anyone commented on whether their remotes do the same? As you will have thought, this may be a bug in in the unit's firmware, but could be a hardware fault in the networking module. If it were a general problem, I'd not buy one of these!
Mine does not do that. It works every time. Maybe try to "forget" it and re-pair?
I don't know about OPs issue but I have quite a few things that use BT - keyboards, page turners and the like (none for my HiFi) - and every so often I have to re-pair for no clear reason, but definitely not on every power-up.

OK here goes....I cannot state what exactly is going on but it seems when I use my laptop to control my Qobuz stream to the S3 it works pretty flawlessly. But when using Qobuz Connect on my phone the stream is very intermittent. I do not understand what the difference is. I am just telling the S3 to stream the same content but from a different control. Any ides what may be going on?
does my network and/or ISP just suck? Should I query Qobuz themselves? or????
Help.

I'm not sure I follow your precise configs, but is your phone using mobile data, or is it connected to the internet through your home WiFi modem? AFAIK, the phone should only be setting up the files to play on your media device with "Connect", and the player then 'pulls' the files. The phone should not be acting as a relay to feed your player.
