Power down the router and then power it back up.  Forget the WAP for now, although if I were you, I'd power it down just to be safe.  I've seen plenty of computer issues cleared up by doing things that logically (as far as I could tell) should have no affect on the issue at hand.

In the time you've spent arguing about it, you could just try it and see if it fixes your issue.

As mentioned already, the WAP is just that... an access point.  It is
not being used as a router.  Thus I could not see why unplugging that
would make any difference except possibly with the wireless Squeezebox
but certainly not with the wired ones that don't touch it.  I certainly
know how easy it is to unplug a router and also know how to
re-initialize the Squeezebox.  Not an issue.  I am more than willing to
reboot a device... I was asking for clarification as to how rebooting
the WAP would make any difference here.  I can certainly reboot my
wired router
