Philips Streamium – MC-i250 Help Please


I have  a Philips Streamium MC-i250 . It is a bit of an ugly duckling by modern-day standards and the functions are a bit clunky having been around since 2003.  It has, for the most part, been trouble-free but now has a significant problem that I would like to resolve.

Basically,  it won’t retain its WiFi settings.

I have effectively carried out a Factory Reset so that I have had to carry out the initial set up and provide all the WiFi parameters. It quite happily accepts everything that I provide. Then promptly forgets it all.

Consequently I cannot connect wirelessly and I am stubbornly refusing to run an ethernet cable to the unit.

Currently I am using a Pinnacle Soundbridge unit plugged into the Aux port of the MC-i250 to give me my WiFi connectability. But I had to steal that from my hi-fi in the lounge. So not ideal.

So is there anyone out there that has encountered this problem on this unit ?

Any polite suggestions gratefully accepted.
