I've been using a Linksys WRT54G v4 router with DD-WRT 23 firmware.

Lasy May (yes I'm slow at this) DD-WRT 23 was upgraded to "DD-WRT 23
SP1".

Since everything was working flawlessly with my wireless network and my
SB3, even with WPA2/AES, I was hesistant to upgrade the firmware from 23
to 23 SP1, but I just did it.  Completely painless and it didn't require
resetting to defaults or re-entering anything.

It adds quite a bit of new features, including one that may be very
useful for SB users: -wireless quality- on a bar graph for each
wireless device.

This is new.  It's also (alarmingly) showing my SB3 signal quality at
28%.

My SB3 actually works quite well though.

But still, this is a useful tool with the SB.  Another nice indicator
is router processor load.  I'm noticing threads in this forum where
this appears to be the culprit of problems.  Streaming a FLAC, my
router processor load is 6%.

Also the upcoming DD-WRT version 24 will be a revolution allowing
multiple SSIDs each with different encryption protocols.  So you could
have a WLAN SSID and a Squeezebox-only SSID!
