No, I hadn't downgraded back to 6.5.3.  Since the time that my problems
started coincided so nicely with the upgrade to SC7 I just assumed that
upgrade had to be the related to my problems.  Of course we all know
what assuming does.

I thought that unplugging my 2.4Ghz phone had resolved the issue, but I
then started having drop outs even with my phone unplugged.  I then
downgraded to 6.5.3 and 6.5.4, but they both continued to have the same
problem.

At this point I started grabbing at straws and changed my Dlink to
802.11b only mode and that fixed my SB problem.  I have now upgraded
back up to SqueezeCenter-7.0.1-19177 and I even have my wireless
unfriendly phone plugged back in.  I.e. I'm back to my original setup,
except that I'm running 802.11b instead of 802.11g and I haven't missed
a single ping to my SB in over 40 hours!

>From my Squeezebox's streaming test I get 100% all the way up to 4Mb. 
At 5 Mb I get 93%.  By my math 4Mb should be fast enough to handle
anything I throw at the SB, so I'm happy with my workaround.

I still don't understand why I started having wireless problems in the
first place and why does changing to 802.11b fix it?  Is my Dlink 4300
simply going bad, or is there something inherently more robust about
802.11b versus 802.11g?
