What turned me around on stability was a post I read quite simply got down to that most problems got down to the network performance and not the squeezebox... so looking at the performance logs..(which is how I would normally look at a problem at work) led me to the solution fix the networ

Try dLAN plugs (e.g.Devolo) to get you round the blackspot. Basically they will give you a LAN using mains wiring and can be used in conjunction with WiFi. Had the same problem and the dLAN's work great - I used the 85mbit versions but the 14mbit types should be enough. -- Heuer ---
