Just a cautionary anecdote : You are certainly not alone in a wirelless world :)
I was away at work for two weeks when I fired up my sqeeze things it borked completely gaah :-/ . Things also tends to coincide a lot for me. what i did, I upgraded my server to latest nightly and tried out a new controller fw, and then all my wirelless players got severe connectivity issues ! SBC,SBR and SB3 Hmm did the usual routine clear caches and reset xilinks after uppgrade to no avail, but then i found out that SqueezPlay was all happy and did play and was at the server all the time the "SqueezePlay" machine is wired, aha! logged in to router, watching my stuff going on and of from the network. SqueezeCenters info don't show this kind of trouble as signal strenght is ok between drop outs . The tomato router fw has wireless survey function not as good as netstumbler but sufficient for purpose. "They" did it again ! "They" are my neighbours , two new routers or AP on MY channel, aptly named "default" and "dlink" something. So this years channel is ch1 last year was ch6 and two years ago i was on ch11 So I have this slow game with my neighbours, when we shuffle channels :) The piont with this tale ? 1. Wirelles is not constant, you have be aware of that. Things that's been working for years wont stay that way forever. 2. Sods or Murphy's law is also at work here when number 1 occurs you have probably done a lot of other changes the same week, reinstalled a computer changed SC bought a new router or similar, so you are initially confused about the real source of your trouble. 3. Maintaining one wired player is a good way to quickly discover the real truoble. If wired player works, SqueezeCenter works. SqueezePlay is a good choice as it emulates a controller but wired. So SqueezePlay on a machine that is wired but NOT on the server is a quicker way the check this than reconfigure one player for wired access. Of course there is probably cases when wiring a real SB is the only way to investigate. 4. Don't kill the messenger, take a deep breath and investigate further before blaming SC.
