Like m1abrams, the Radio has been perfectly stable for me for well over a year now. I used it as an alarm for about 6 months and it never failed me. Except for the time when I didn't have the battery pack yet and the electricity went out in the neighborhood. I use a local server and don't depend o

I have a Radio and it has woken me every morning for the over a year now. The radio is connected via Wifi that is pretty much at the extreme reach of my wifi access point. On maybe a few occasions the alarm used the backup alarm, however I suspect because of the weak wifi. For a little while we

I own three radios (one of each color) and I love them. However, like a previous post, I don't use and don't care about the alarms and I rarely used mysb.com. The only connection problem I've had with them turned out to be my routers problem after a firmware update. -- realcodeguy

I have a Squeezebox classic and a boom and would like to get another one. I've held of buying another Boom in the hope the radio would become something worth buying, when I first looked there were a number of problems. The radio is now just over £100 at Amazon, and wondered whether it was worth

Radio arrived today. Straightforward set up, plugged in, gave it the wifi password, it patched itself a couple of times, and that was it. I'd say the sound is impressive for the size of box, certainly adequate for casual listening in a bedroom. Daughter is delighted, now son wants one too. --

7.5.3 was released almost two months ago (around January 24). Check what version you are running. For example, on the Radio itself look under Settings > Advanced > About (or maybe Information). On the SBS web ui look under Settings > Information. -- aubuti --
