Hi About 2 months ago my SBR prompted an upgrade to 7.6.0 (r8934) - my SBS was running the latest 7.6 build. I thought great, another update and accepted it. However, ever since the update my SBR is constantly dropping the wireless connection to my router. It doesn't matter whether I stream via SBS or mySB.com, the SBR will drop the wireless connection with alarming frequency. Below are the details of the behaviour. Now my SBR was completely stable before the upgrade from 7.5.1 to 7.6.0. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Did the 7.6.0 (r8934) upgrade overwrite files that were not then subsequently overwritten by the 7.5.1 downgrade? I've not touched my router; there has been no change to its firmware or the settings. An example of my SBR log is attached should someone be able to decipher what is going on.
Okay. So here is what happens. When I am streaming (SBS or mySB.com), the SBR will go quiet and the wireless icon goes red. I'll say now that at no point does it ever go blue. After the wireless icon turns red, I have two options. I can either attempt a reconnect or I can turn the SBR off and on. When I attempt a reconnect, I get the options: 'Try again' and 'Choose Different Network'. Selecting 'Try again' doesn't seem to do much. When I select 'Choose Different Network' and then 'Connect to a wireless network', I get the usual list of available APs. Among the listed APs is my own router. However, the wireless-strength icon for my router shows no bars whatsoever (i.e. it is completely grey rather than white). Nevertheless, I can select my router and the SBR will attempt a reconnect. It may connect but more often than not it fails. I can then keep trying until it eventually connects, which it will do eventually. However, on successfully reconnecting, the SBR freezes with the big blue ring and the connected confirmation. I can now hear the stream, but the screen hangs with the big blue ring and none of the buttons work. At this point, the only option is to press and hold the power button to turn the SBR off. Rather than attempting a reconnect when the wireless drops, I can instead turn the SBR off and on. Following the power on, the SBR fails to reconnect to the router and so I am presented with only three menu items: Now Playing, My Music and Settings. In order to reconnect to my router, I have to go through Settings->Advanced->Networking->Choose Network. This time, the router is both listed and the wireless icon shows full strength (i.e. the icon is completely white rather than grey). However, it again takes several attempts before the SBR will everntually reconnect to the router. But when it does reconnect, there is at least no freeze. Phew. When the screen of the SBR freezes with the blue connect ring, it is still possible to open a ssh to the SBR. It seems that the SBR is constantly polling APs every 5 secs. Here is a snippet from the SBR log: Aug 13 20:30:11 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:16 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:21 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:26 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:31 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:36 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:41 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:46 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:51 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:30:56 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:31:01 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks Aug 13 20:31:06 squeezeplay: INFO net.socket - Networking.lua:624 scan found 7 wireless networks This just keeps going on, and on, and on.... The SBR is clearly struggling to talk to my router, but I have changed nothing on the router side and the SBR was perfectly stable up until the 7.6.0 upgrade. Below is my setup and attached is an example of my SBR log when trying to reconnect. I really do hope someone can help.
