Not always, there can some incopatibilities I think. It generaly works
but there can be router or sb bugs.

But there can  be other factors, you can put it like " all home
networks does not have reliable dhcp".
then you include what is most common ,setup faults the network has more
than one dhcp for example.
poeple have maze of routers where some are used purely as ap ( they
think ) .
Or not realizing that the " modem " from the isp also is a router, they
now have 2 routers in series ( the isp thing should be bridged acount
setup in the router ).

I rid myself of the possibility of router induced problems on my local
net all my " home " stuff has static ip ( not dhcp reservation ) and
all ethernet stuff is interconected trough switches, where the router
is just conected to one of the switches , so a router problem does not
kill my network  3 of 4 squeezeboxes still see the server etc, internet
and wifi will be gone but not my local net.

This migth be overkill, but from a squeezebox perspective at least the
server should be on a static ip so it does not go away easilly ( once
setup you will not depend on a working server discovery , mine was
broken for 2 years due a bug in my server firewall, set up was a head
scrather but when it was done it worked stable anyeay. )
