My apologies if I have not been clear before: Regardless of whether
power save is enabled or not on the controller, the controller IS
REACHABLE ON THE NETWORK. It just doesn't connect to the Squeezecenter
application.

I can ping the controller. It wakes up with a good DHCP address after
being cradled overnight. I can remote logon to it from the computer
running Squeezecenter. It shows connected and signal strength varies
when I walk around the house with the controller. All while the
wireless icon remains blue.

My experiment with disabling all plugins failed. Over the weekend, when
someone or other was playing with the controller at least every several
hours, it had no problem waking up and showing a white icon. But
tonight, after it had been cradled for 18 hours, I'm blue again.

Just now, I tried turning off power save, tried to manually connect to
a music source, putting in the IP address of the Squeezecenter server,
no effect...until several minutes later. As I was typing this, I
checked again, and the wireless icon is now white. But, the controller
acts now like it usually acts when it can't even get a network IP
address. I have the Settings/Extras/Choose Player options on the home
page and nothing else. Then I turn the remote off/on, and everything is
perfect again.

Milhouse, I appreciate your efforts to help. If the issue is PSM
support in the router, do you expect that I should be able to ping and
remotely log on to the controller at the same time that it can't find
Squeezecenter on the network? If the controller can respond to a ping
and handle a remote logon session, what other test would prove that it
is otherwise network-crippled?

Can anyone comment on how the controller discovers Sqeezecenter when it
wakes up? Is it possible that what it does changes after several hours
(perhaps more than 12) of inactivity?
