A few more random thoughts - I've also had a variety of problems with
the Wireless connection. None of mine turned out to be the Squeezebox
at fault, although I guess someone has to be the unlucky person witha
faulty unit!

1 - I too had interference from a neighbours network. Its well worth
trying different channels - some documentation I've read recommends not
trying to use adjacent channels if you can help it. Try the lowest and
highest channel numbers available to you.

2 - Unlikely to be your problem ... but I found the microwave oven
completely kills the link, every time!

3 - I had one of my SB2's working fine for a while... and then started
to have all sorts of weird breakup problems. Not obviously a wireless
problem, I seem to remember the exact behaviour was different for
listening to radio streams vs local FLACs, but after a lot of swapping
(made much easier by having multiple PCs, SB2s and WAPs to play
with!!!) I tracked it down to the wireless access point I was using.  I
was getting this on/off behaviour even with the SB2 right next to the
WAP.  The WAP (which I had been using for years) had failed (a Belkin
unit, now I come to think of it!).

Suggestion: see if your local PC World or similar will sell you a
standalone wireless access point (don't need to replace your router) on
a return-if-it-doesn't-work-in-your-house basis. Then plug it into a
wired port on your network somewhere, give yourself a new wireless
network (remember to select a different channel and SSID from your
current router and your neighbour!) and give it a go.

Good luck....
