OK, so channels 5 and 11 have proved worthless for preventing the reboot problem.
I'm starting to get ticked off a little. I mean, the big question is, why does the squeezebox have to friggin' REBOOT, for Bob's sake!??!!?!? Can't it handle wireless interference with some graceful dropouts or something? This wireless reboot problem is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How on earth is the rest of the world dealing with this? Like I say, it's not like I'm running some obscure equipment in a weird environment. This is about the most basic setup I can think of for wireless SB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, had to blow off a little steam there. But I'M STILL LOOKING FOR ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
