At the risk of teaching grandmothers to suck eggs, have you tried manually setting your router/access point to use a channel that differs from your neighbour's choice of channel ? This is something I have had to do in a similar circumstance, because my access point seemed to "autochoose" a sub-optimal channel. That impacted use of a printer, etc., in a room furthest from my access point, but quite close to my neighbour's wi-fi extender. It never impacted my Radios, though (different rooms). So I have never had the opportunity to investigate the effect on a Radio, in particular why rebooting seems to be the only option, at least in some cases. There's quite a long thread on the subject, -WiFi connection unstable/lost on three Radios-: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109953-WiFi-connection-unstable-lost-on-three-Radios. I don't know if any firm conclusions have been drawn. I don't know if the updated -wpa_supplicant- would help or not. I don't think the firmware on the wi-fi chip has changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479
