router location and the other is plugged in and connected to the
Squeezebox with an Ethernet cable.

A recent firmware update to my TP-Link Archer A7 router enabled
'Onemesh' support which adds a second network signal to support mesh

appears to cause my squeezebox to drop wifi after a short period of

some people get alarms to work sometimes in some situations, but

Buy a cheap battery alarm clock and use that.

Alarms have always been unreliable, and remain so. Consider yourself
lucky that it at least wakes you every day.
To be safe, invest $5 at Walmart for a reliable and easy to use alarm
clock. Logitech hasn't been able to engineer one.

Using an alarm sound. Alarm comes on again exactly 1 minute after I
turn it off. Happens every day.
Must be making up for a while back, when it used to not come on at all

Gotta call BS on this reply. The radio is sold as having an alarm
feature, and is clearly made to be used as a bedside appliance.

s odd enough that an alarm function needs a server at all, but
involving 2 different servers is beyond odd. One would think that a
radio with a computer inside would be smart enough to simulate an alarm

The hardware seems capable, with the exception of the lack of a battery
backup for the alarm clock.
It was actually a lot less of a geek-required product that I expected.
I expected a Linux-like experience (much assembly required) and instead
got a Windows-3
The alarm problem has a simple workaround. It involved a cheap $5 alarm
and some duct tape.
Simply tape the alarm clock to the top of the Squeezebox.
Use black tape if you have a black Squeezebox, or red for a red one.
Alarm sounds are limited, but reliable.

My old fashioned clock radio has an alarm that works, and a 9V battery
