If your Radio is connected by Wifi, but gets the red symbol and loses connection, but is restored by turning it off and back on again so it reboots, then the problem might be caused by interference with your Wifi, or a neighbors Wifi. See the threads in the Radio forum. It appears the new mesh networks is incompatible with the Radio's Wifi. Unfortunately, the Squeezebox Community Firmware will not fix the problem. However, others are working on a possible fix. I suffer from the interference problem on some of my Radios. For me, the problem is location specific as one location a Radio will not have the problem, but another Radio which as 100% signal strength to my router has the problem. A test to determine if the Wifi is the problem is to connect the Radio with an ethernet cable to your router. If it works without a problem, that is a sign it is the wifi interference problem. The only solution for now is to use a Wifi to Ethernet bridge which plugs into the ethernet connection on the radio. I am using a TP-Link N300 travel router in client mode; it is easy to set up. Others have used a Vonets VAP11G-300, but I had difficultly setting it up. The Vonets is rated up to 15 volts, but Radio's power supply is 18 volts; however many people use the Vonets without a problem. Most of the people on this forum with Radios use the Squeezebox (SB) Radio, as opposed to the UE Smart Radio. The difference is a SB Radio can use either MySequeezebox.com or Logitech Media Server (LMS). If you run LMS you can play music on your computer. There is more community development of LMS and options with a SB Radio than the UE Smart Radio. It is possible to convert the UE Radio to an SB Radio. Good luck!
