Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Work-around for SqueezeBoxRadio wifi drop-out
Nice to have multiple ideas/alternatives (this one, wlanpoke), thank you for taking the time to put workarounds together. Would it be better in your script to ping the gateway instead of the squeezebox server (which might go down for other reasons)? I realize if the sb server goes down you aren't playing music anyway, but still Just a thought really, ignore as you see fit.

I wonder if powering it separately would keep it working. I realize this removes the ease of use unfortunately. Of course other solutions (as mentioned by others, like the TP-Link N300) are possible.

I was poking around the Unifi community forum - read a few times (maybe from the same person) that 4.3.24 is not a great firmware and has issues with DHCP among other things. Don't know if that factors in to anyone's issues, just reporting.

For my 3 Unifi APs (AC Pro, AC Lite, AC IW), I am running Unifi Controller 6.0.43 and all are running the latest firmware (4.3.24). I don't see a v5 firmware for my APs but perhaps you have different model APs (?). I have issue with one of my radios, but the other two run fine using these APs. I do have "fast roaming" switched off in the controller. I also have separate wifi network ssids for 2.4 and 5 ghz. I hope whenever there is a firmware upgrade to 5.x I don't get hit with what you are seeing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] WiFi connection unstable/lost on three Radios
Interestingly, I have one Radio which started showing this behavior within an hour of restart. I went wired on that one because I could. That was months ago. Now another radio drops connection after many hours, like 15-18 hours. I have no idea why - my infrastructure hasn't changed (ubiquiti stuff). Perhaps it is a neighbor's wifi/mesh, but nothing is super close and all neighboring signals are weak, or so says the unifi controller. Not sure that I have many choices - I may well buy one of those wifi dongles off of Amazon.And a third radio, very close to radio #2, continues to work fine in the current wifi environment. Go figure.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] snooze/sleep failing?
Well, I finally figured out what was happening. I have the powersave plugin installed, which was set to turn off my squeezebox radio 15 minutes after no activity. It was the culprit turning off the unit and thus alarm, or so it seems. I guess it didn't see a snooze cycle (me hitting the snooze) as activity. Disabling for this device seems to have fixed it, although likely I could just put its timeout at greater than my alarm timeout (e.g. 60 minutes).

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] snooze/sleep failing?
Okay, so I figured out how to get the logs off of the radio. My snooze problem shows up in the log every morning, at a slightly different time during snoozing. Here's what the log says, can anyone tell me what it means? Bug?

[SlimDevices: Radio] snooze/sleep failing?
I have an alarm set for 6:05 am, every weekday. The alarm is a simple playlist on my LMS machine. At 6:05 it goes off and I snooze it via a knob push. 9 minutes later, it comes back on, I snooze it via a knob push. That's it, the alarm shuts itself off sometime in the second snooze. I am not spinning the knob when I snooze it (i.e. I am definitely snoozing when I push the button), I have the radio alarm set to timeout after 1 hour. Any thoughts on why it might be doing this? I watched it this morning do it, and I was fully awake, so I can't blame it on a sleepy mind.
