Improving the network seems necessary in your case, and I'm sure you'll
see improvements from so doing.

The jury remains out as to whether things have gotten worse due to some
regression in the software or firmware that makes up the Squeezebox
system. I suspect only a controlled experiment, with controlled amounts
of network congestion/radio interference will be able to answer that
one. The closest thing to a *user report* that could shed some light on
it is if someone reverts to 7.2.1 and gets perfect playback, goes to
7.3.3 and it's broken again, and then reverts to 7.2.1 and it stays
fixed. And as you rightly point out, it's not the rebuffering message
that is the problem, it's interruptions to playback we care about.  

I suggest that anyone who has experiences that suggest the latest 7.3.3
or 7.3.4 is more fragile than a previous version post to the bug report
https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13092.  I don't think it is
particularly worth posting info to the bug that improving the network
improved the streaming experience, because that is what we'd all expect
whether or not there is a particular bug to be found. Probably, that
point has been emphasized enough by now :-)

Good luck with your network improvements; it's always a good investment
to make your network more robust, particularly in your case, since you
were already seeing issues with 7.2.1.
