There are most certainly also issues with the software inside the
Radio. If it is able to wake up at the correct time and connect to the
correct stream, it should not freeze due to (self-inflicted) issues with
MYSB.

I don't believe either is true. The server was offline only for a short
time and very soon the website was up again and every Classic SB and
Boom in Europe could connect again, only the SqueezeOS devices couldn't
for two days or so. Funny thing is that you could even remote control
your Radio from MySqueezeBox.com, just the Radio said it couldn't
connect. All this suggests that the "problems because of too much
success"-story is marketing nonsense. Most probably the server crashed
and they used a backup with a pre-SqueezeOs setup.
Whatever they "solved" there (apart from restoring the configuration
for SqueezeOS devices two days later), it didn't fix the daily Radio
freezing due to the MYSB semi-connection-loss problems.

This is more than a rumor. If the Router reconnects at night, there is
a 90% chance that the Radio will misbehave afterwards. It is obviously
not the changed IP, but the reconnect process, which can take 2 minutes
or so. Afterwards both sides -think- they are still connected, but the
Radio behaves erratically and needs help to get back in a normal
function state.
