I have tried variations of the above but that was without switching off
the router for more than 30 secs (when I have needed to reboot it to
enable/disable it's DHCP server). I am happy to try another couple of
tests before sending the receiver (& controller as it was part of a
Duet bundle) back, but am intrigued by what switching off the router
for 5 mins will do.

What is weird about this problem is that when I first got the receiver,
I was able to get it configured using the controller without any issues
(I think I may have had to power cycle the receiver before I could
select the player on the controller, but that was it). Wireless signal
strength (on receiver and controller) was good at 75-80% and the
network was using WEP encryption. However, 5 minutes into playing a
track, the receiver stopped playing and the yellow LED came on
(indicating that the network connection had dropped). That was just the
start of all my troubles!

Since then, I have briefly had the receiver working with no encryption
and (most recently) with WPA for a couple of hours & it stayed
connected to the network all night.

I suspect from this that the encryption settings are a red herring but
as it stands now the receiver appears to be unable to join any network
other than the adhoc one created by the controller (& even then setup
via the controller fails as the receiver LED remains on yellow and the
controller displays it usual failed to connect message). Whilst all
this is going on, I have no problems with the controller
connecting/disconnecting from the wireless network.

I spoke to the retailer I bought the Duet from today and they havent
had any returns yet which would tend to rule out a general firmware bug
so that leaves 2 possibilities: 

1) A problem with my setup/environment - perhaps its a specific
firmware compatibility issue between the receiver (but not the
controller) and my router: a Linksys WAG54GX2.

2) An intermittent hardware fault with the receiver.

I dont have another router to test with but may wait until the weekend
when my second Duet arrives so that I can rule out (2).
