I think the last official Touch firmware is 7.8.0 r16754 so I would definitely be inclined to try and get to that version, there may well be some fixes that will help your wifi issues as Logitech would have been able to update all aspects (firmware and drivers) of the device. There's a discussion here on why Touches don't update and how to do it manually: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107583-Which-is-correct-latest-firmware-version-for-Touch The versions later than that are Community releases, mostly fixes around the open source parts, I think Ralphy updated WPA_Supplicant which would resolve the WPA Krack vulnerability (not sure about Krook though), but in the Radio they've struggled to find updated wifi drivers, check the community release changelog linked from this page for what fixes have been put in place, and decide for yourself: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113479-Announce-Community-Firmware-for-Squeezebox-Radio-Touch-Controller-and-LMS-8 For what it's worth, I've been running Community Firmware on my one SB Touch and three SB Radios for months now with no issues, although only one of the radios are using wifi, all the others are hardwired ethernet.
