Firstly I also add my thanks to PomDev2. I have two Squeezebox Radios and for the last few weeks one of them has been exhibiting this problem. I had initially been suspecting a developing chip failure for the WiFi chip and had considered either switching to using Ethernet or buying another used system but the fact I discovered this thread and solution -and it works- suggests fortunately this is not the issue. I am still myself puzzled by the cause. As mentioned I have two Squeezebox Radio systems in operation and the only one currently showing this problem is located within feet of an Apple AirPort Extreme. The unit -not- having a problem is located at the other end of the house as far as is possible to get from the Apple AirPort Extreme. It definitely therefore is not range or signal strength and as an old discontinued Apple WiFi device it has not received recent firmware updates that might have introduced a problem. It also is not a mesh device nor does it support WiFi6. So I am perplexed. It could be external interference e.g. a neighbours system affecting my signal but logically this would have most impact on the Squeezebox Radio furthest from my AirPort and not the one in the same room. If this fix is as seems becoming so important to an increasing number of users it would be nice to see it built-in to a future community firmware update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jelockwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5947 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114775 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
