Interesting. SB totally refused to connect to server earlier today.
Not even power-cycling would fix it. That's never happened before. In
the end I decided to restart the server. Before I did so, I
double-checked that it was still running with HIGH priority. It did
not. Perhaps the server h
It gets goofier still. While the Nintendo Wii is perfectly happy
streaming video all the while the SB is saying "Can't connect", the PS3
actually drops its connection to PSN. How can this be? (Wii, PS3 and
SB all connect to the same switch which hooks up to the WLAN via the
SB's bridge.) The o
It is absolutely weird. I wasn't gonna post for a few days before I had
some tentative conclusion on my latest test. I am working on the
assumption that the physical layer is - and always has been - ok and
that there is some protocol problem further up the network stack. My

Do you have a break in the audio stream when the message is shown? I do
not know anything about the underlying protokoll used by the SBs to
communicate with the server, but it could be time critical and,
different to the buffered streams, a short break can have an impact on
it.

Sorry, I don't understand. I had these problems all along, even before
the bridge mode. It is only since I enabled the bridge mode that these
problems out themselves as *unrelated* to the physical layer. From what
I can gather, there is no way for the user to tell the difference
between a "Can'
Disable the Bridge Mode and try again. I suppose recent changes of the
firmware to keep Rhapsody decryption causes this effect.

I wish to revive this thread because something astonishing (to me, at
least) revealed itself yesterday. I had played around with positioning
the SB3 and what not - no joy. Nothing ever fixed my intermittent
"Can't connect" problems. Recently, I completely rejigged our AV stack

The wifi adapters are not particularly awfulll, but constant streaming
of music is a very demanding task ( only surpased by streaming video
of good quality )
So actualy wire what can be wired is a sound aproach, it can be done
nicely.
it's a diy thing that can be done by most people or try those

That subject has been covered here a thousand times and it will never

Well, the problem is that many would disagree with your analysis that
the SB3 is not a good WiFi performer. Many would argue exactly the
opposite of your experience in that their SBR is much worse with WiFi
than their reliable SB3 is on WiFi. So who knows?

Do you by any chance have a reasonably old router? I ask because I had
the same kind of experience. Since my laptop worked fine, I never
suspected the router. I eventually replaced it, and now everything is
rock solid.
I know it's not free to do this on spec, and YMMV. But if all else
fails .
I'm glad it's not just me whose two Squeezeboxes (SB2 and SB3) both do
the 'cannot connect to the server' trick occasionally since updating to
7.5.3. They're both connected via a wired ethernet connection, too...

No, I cannot say that I have done any of this analysis. My server is
wireline to the wireless router, so if I understand well, then you are
suggesting that I use a inSSider equipped laptop around our bedroom to
see what it can sniff out over the wireless interface? Thing is, I use

Have you used inSSider or something similar to check you environment?
How many networks are there nearby?

Have you tried another device in the same place?

shows a WiFi signal strength of 70%. Yet it cuts out "Cannot connect
