I had been having some problems with my Transporter connected wirelessly
to my network; it was unable to receive an IP address via DCHP, and it
couldn't play Internet Radio (it would say it was connected, but
couldn't complete buffering of the stations).  Then, over the last
week, it seemed like the TP was dropping off the network every 30-40
seconds.  Network strength was being consistently reported as 85%+, but
it kept dropping.  The odd thing was that my SB2 was having no problems
at all, so I was pretty sure it couldn't have been my router.

That said, my broadband provider (Verizon FIOS) had recently changed
router brands; they had given me a D-Link last year that had firmware
dated 1995, and in the last few months, they were distributing
ActionTec routers.  So I decided to upgrade routers to see what
happened.

Wow...what a difference!  Without changing anything asides from my
router, the Transporter is now able to receive IP addresses via DHCP, I
can get Internet Radio...and beyond that, there is no sluggishness in
using the remote to navigate my music library whatsoever (a problem I
did have with the old router).

So...it appears that the router does play a role in how well things
work...
