toby, my setup is just like yours: I use WiFi, WPA2, SSID is hidden,
router handles DHCP (no fixed IP's). I'm in California.

1. When you turn off Radio are you doing a soft off (standby) which is
a quick ON/OFF button press? Or are you doing a hard off (actually turns
off Radio) which is a press & hold ON/OFF button press (screen actually
says GOODBYE)?
A: Usually a soft off. But sometimes hard. My wife primarily uses the
radio, so things happen variously.

2. When you say Radio can't fine SBS or MySB after radio has been off,
what happens if you select My Music or Internet Radio from the Home
menu? Does it offer SBS or MySB then? If yes, does it then connect?
3. Does your Radio disconnect while playing? Or you only have this
issue from a Radio = Off state?

A: for questions 3 and 4. Sometimes the radio loses wireless
connection. As verified in the diagnostics. Repeated connection attempts
and it eventually it connects. Sometimes it asks me for the wireless
password again, I re-enter it and it connects. It has really great
signal strength, and the 3 other wireless clients run fine. I'm using
Tomato loaded on a WRT54GL. Had the same problem with a Netgear router I
had until 2 weeks ago.
Sometimes the wireless comes up and I get a can't find mysqueezbox.com
notice. Couple on/off cycles and it finds it.

4. Have you tried letting Radio stream for a 24 hour period to see if
it loses connection to your network (or SBS or MySB)?
A: Never run it that long, but have never had dropouts unless we run
the microwave oven, which is a couple feet away from it.

I think the thing has a lousy algorithm at startup. I wish I could
force it to WPA2 personal with AES, and set a fixed IP and specify the
default gateway and dns. Then I'd at least eliminate those as possible
problems. But my playstation, directv DVR, Roku and 4 pc's never have
any trouble, so...
