It sure sounds like an intermittent WiFi issue. I run SC7.3.3 on WinXP to a Boom via WiFi and it never stops music playback.
A friend was having similar issues with an AirportExpress device so I emailed him this (very basic) WiFi troubleshooting guide. He found a number of issues and has been streaming flawlessly ever since. If possible, try the player wired temporarily to see if the issue goes away. Or, try the player via WiFi but very near (same room, not too close to) the WiFi router. If either resolves the problem then your issue is likely WiFi related. If so, try taking a laptop to the very spot where the player is located, then run your laptops WiFi program showing all available networks that are close to your location. >From this info pay particular attention to: Network Name: What is your networks name? Same as any other network name listed? If YES, change your network name to something UNIQUE so your player cant inadvertently connect to the incorrect network. If you and your neighbor both use LINKSYS as your network name then your player may try connecting to your neighbors WiFi. Network Channel #: What Ch # is your WiFi network? What are the Ch #s near you showing the strongest signals? If your network is using the same Ch # as a close by network you may be getting interference. Change your routers WiFi Ch #. Best to choose either Ch 1 or Ch 6 or Ch 11 (or Ch 13 if in EU), preferably choosing one of these Chs that are not showing up at all or are the weakest signals showing. Network Spectrum: Is your network showing it is A? B? G? N? All? Try changing your router to just G. Signal Strength: What is your players WiFi signal strength reporting (before and after the above router changes)? A strong signal is great, but even then you might be getting interference from near by networks or other RF/radio devices (like microwaves). You can find the player signal strength from the players menus or by going to SC > Settings > Information. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64554
