I have been frustrated by these symptoms and I am glad that I found this
thread.

I have an incident open [Incident: 080916-002230] 

I initially tried the receiver and remote connected wireless to my main
network via a Linksys WAP54G Wireless Access Point (Firmware 3.0.5)
Australian Wireless Chan 11. The DHCP is handled by a Windows 2000
server with reservations set for both Receiver and Controller. I had
just picked up a Dell Poweredge 2650 server for work so I installed
Windows 2003 server, joined it to my AD domain and ran SqueezeCenter on
that. In an attempt to increase reliability I ran a CAT5 to the Receiver
from a Netgear 24 port switch. No much changed. Installed The
SqueezeCentre App on a Windows XP workstation. No much changed, still
unreliable controller connections.

My Network's Gateway/Router is a Billion VGOM with Wireless (at the
other end of the house from the Linksys WAP) I tried moving the
Controller's connection to that connection (Australian Wireless Chan 1)
but no real change. 

After creating the ticket with support and getting the typical
instructions on how to reset the Duet system, I moved the the
Squeezebox off of the main network completely and connected it to a
small network that I use for some hosting and VoIP stuff. This consists
of a Linksys WRT54GL running dd-wrt v24-sp1. With the exception of
listening to internet radio stations, Frankly its worse! The remote
still falls of the network giving me either Blue WiFi icon or after
waking up gives the endless life-ring of death 'Connecting to
Squeezebox' but now with the added frustration of songs stopping
part-way through. 

I have submitted a log from squeezecentre (on the Poweredge) as a part
of the incident ticket. It has some networking issues.

Looking at this thread I am sure that with some effort it could be
easily reproduced.

If people are reporting that the problem might be worse with version
7.2. Where can we access older version?  

Like others have stated, all wireless networking in my environment with
the exception of this latest addition, is very reliable. I don't believe
updating firmware on routers is the right tree to bark up.

Regards,

MD
