For some reason my squeezebox seems to experience very spotty
connectivity via wireless.  One day it will be fine, another day it
won't connect at all until I fiddle with where it's located.  Sometimes
even a couple of inches will help.

My router is a D-Link DIR-655 and it's probably ~30 ft from the SB on
the same floor with a couple of walls in between.  My laptop in the same
location never has any problem connecting or maintaining a connection
and when I was testing a Transporter in my place, it never seemed to
have any problems.  My hunch is that part of the issue, at least, is the
wireless adapter used in the Squeezebox V3.  

I've tried changing channels on my router with no obvious effect.

I'm wondering if maybe:
- My 2-3 year old Squeezebox is starting to experience hardware
failure?  I never had this issue until the last few months, but that
could be a lot of things -- new router, possibly a new neighbor moving
in...
- The newer versions (Squeezebox Classic, Duet) utilize a different
wireless adapter?
- There's a 3rd party wireless adapter that can be bought that hooks up
to the SB's ethernet port?
- I might be able to fiddle with the antenna to improve reception, in
which case, what is typically the strongest configuration?

Any thoughts or suggestion would be much appreciated.  Running an
ethernet cable, while possibly the only sure-fire solution, is not an
option in my situation.
