Yes, I use Wifi Analyzer to determine what's going on. So far, it's not "noise" that determines failure state for my players. It's literally just the channel change. I've now reproduced this behavior. I can switch from channel 1 to 3 which are both empty, and the touch falls off and requires a reboot. bpa wrote: > The problem with "auto" it becomes a game amongst competing routers - as > soon one sees a "better" channel, it changes and soon other routers also > go that "better" channel, then the router will re-evaluate and see the > channel it came from is "better" and it changes again. > > So many users avoid the "auto "setting as it can lead to unstable > networks. I'm torn. I tried stealing an empty channel last weekend and it worked for a few days before it became noisy and it started interfering with my video streaming. Given that "auto" mode works well with all of my devices (except SB), and I now have newer wifi bridges to fix that, I'm going to keep it on auto and enjoy my new rock-solid squeezebox setup. 1 Touch 5 Receivers 3 Controllers 2 Radios Making streaming music in my home a full time job! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116136 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
