Some routers have a setting to limit the amount of devices conected ,

A Touch can loose its static settings if you poke around in the network
settings part of the UI , can't remember what exact menu that provokes
that behaviour .
I've prepared a schematic of my network to try and help clarify things
further. Anything with a solid line is cabled, anything with a dashed
line is wireless.
While I've shown all four Touch's as connected, only two are at the
moment. One of those two (top right) has two dashed lines. When it's
well.. a factory reset of the Touch still didn't work.
To try and further diagnose this, I wonder, is there something
intrinsically different from the Touch devices that would make them more
susceptible to network issues, as opposed to other Squeezedevices?
