My primary concern as well. If your Internet or Wifi connection flakes out, the Squeezebox Radio uses an internal alarm sound that will get the job done (i.e., wake you up). So unlike some of the earlier Squeeze products it does have an internal clock -- it's not entirely dependent on a connection to a server somewhere. (My kids on the other hand have a Boom and there have been mornings where their alarm hasn't gone off due to lack of a Wifi connection, so they now have a low tech back up alarm clock as well. That's one of the main advantages the Radio has over the Boom, that internal clock and alarm sound.)
