There's definitely something sub-optimal going on with the wireless
client software. Having reverted to using the local server (rather than
the preferred Squeezebox.com), I find that the radio nowadays does not
distinguish between what used to be the "red and blue" connect status:
Although certainly connected to the wlan, if the server computer may
have gone to sleep, the radio will now show the red wifi icon and the
device will abandon all attempts at reconnecting before manually using
the (to me, at least, new advanced function) "Repair network". I guess
this would be something similar to the Windows ipconfig /release +
ipconfig /renew? (Good function - as these matters stand, would be
useful to be able to put that into a customized main menu, but it seems
that re-implementing this function has not received priority in 7.6?)

Browsing this forum, I'm certainly surprised by the number of trouble
issues/bugs that have appeared in what seemed to be well-functioning
software a couple of main releases ago. Seems like the SB community is
extremely dedicated to their setups, but for how long should one go on
accepting the hours of troubleshooting & fidegeting with our wlans?
With other home devices, we are after all rather used to wlan
connections being fairly transparent as far as a trouble source goes?
