I'm also having a terrible time with the Controller's network
connectivity.  Right now I've got it sitting a few feet away from the
wireless router, and everything else in the house (including this
laptop, as I type, about 200ft away) works fine.

But pinging the Controller shows terrible network issues:

And all told, I'm seeing 50% packet loss:

Code:
--------------------
    Ping statistics for 10.23.17.127:
  Packets: Sent = 89, Received = 44, Lost = 45 (50% loss),
  Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
  Minimum = 2ms, Maximum = 3708ms, Average = 938ms
--------------------


I've tried turning off wireless power saving, and see no difference. 
Even when I first boot the Controller, it comes up with high latency
and lots of packet loss.

The router is a Linksys WRT54GL running the latest Linksys firmware.  
I'm really loathe to replace the router, which is working fine for 5 or
6 other wireless devices, just to see if it helps.

Any ideas?  The Controller really isn't usable this way.  The Receiver
works fine wirelessly and I can play music by controlling it from
Squeezecenter, but that's small consolation.
