There are so many problems that seem to cause the Radio to go offline. The ambiguous white/red WiFi symbol doesn't help, either (it can mean bad wireless, missing server, etc.). There used to be an intermediate color, but they reduced it to white/red. Amazon reviews of this thing are full of wireless complaints. The only problem I can think of that may be related to your issue is that the Server service in Windows is crashing and knocking your computer off the network frequently. I had an issue with that a few months ago and SB Radio seemed to take a long time to recover. You can check the Event Viewer in Windows to look for any critical errors related to that. mbg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97791 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Unlike Touch that has a region setting to to turn off channels above 11 in appropriate regions Radio is supposed to auto-detect this and there is a bug that makes this process unreliable .

Any thoughts? highly unlikely to be related to your computer running LMS being on a long time. Mine is on 24/7. More likely an issue with the Radio dropping/losing wifi. Use something like inSSIDer or netstumbler to see other nearby wifi networks and the channels they are using. Then use the channel that is least used by near neighbors. 1, 6, 11 are best channels as they don't overlap with other channels.

I never turn of any of my computers. Everything is connected either through WiFi or through D-Link Powerline adapters. Everything had been working well for months if not years. My first problem was the Squeezebox dropping it's connection. Yesterday, I lost everything!!! I called my ISP to see what the problem was and it was me. A little diagnostics on their side and they suggested it was the router. A router reboot and router reset (the little button in the back of the router) and and I was up and running. Was that the source of my problem? Who knows? I do know that the router is 5 or more years old and stuff breaks. Will I buy a new router? Probably if I have any connection issue again. Do I regret sending my Squeezebox back for replacement? That is a story for after I get the Smart Radio it back. hip2b2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97791 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio keeps losing wireless connection and won't reconnect - any ideas?
I've started noticing that I my Radio loses wifi connection and won't reconnect, and it seems to be when the computer is left on overnight/extended periods. LMS on my WinXP does not show any issues, but if I go to advanced settings or web control, it cannont find my Radio. I am able to get Radio re-connected to the network only if I unplug and plug it back in to power. My wireless network runs through a Cisco/Linksys WRT110 router with the XP desktop hard wired to the router. I've had the Radio for several months now and I don't recall any problems like this, but I have also been leaving the desktop on for much longer durations of time.
