Dear Jim: Unfortunately, I have to agree with davidmac27 & sapnho. These are not isolated incidents and you must recognize that. The controller’s connection reliability problems made me return your product. I was not willing to return it but when it randomly failed fifth time to play a song in the presence of my wife, due to connection reliability, Duet’s fate was sealed. Her stance was that since the day I received Duet, I have bee troubleshooting it. Support tired to help (they even sent me another Duet) but I believe software glitches can never be countered just by support/troubleshooting, your software team has to do the hard labor of finding and correcting all glitches or write the software again. Duet controller’s connection reliability problems were there even when I lifted all the barriers (no virus scanner, no firewall, starting Squeeze Center as service…etc whatever I can find at these forums) in newly installed Win XP and Win Vista. I really liked the concept and I want to buy it again when you’ll have resolved all the issues, when just owning Squeezebox Duet will no longer be an “always troubleshooting” hobby, when it will work as reliably as a consumer product. I am trying Sonos now. It is reliable only if there is at least one wired connection, if I go 100% wireless then it also drop sound, goes mute, pause….etc. Its controller it bulky and it is twice expense. I believe just because of wireless issues, Sonos recommends at least one wired connection and 100% wireless is neither encouraged nor fully supported. As I am writing these lines, I can search 34 wireless networks in my Apt., add mine and it becomes 35. I am total novice with respect to wireless technology but I just suspect that wireless space is becoming too congested for audio streaming.
