what sort of wifi strength were you getting reported by the RADIO when hooked directly to WIFI? Keep in mind that the wifi antenna of the radio is not nearly as good as the wifi antenna of the bridge you've attached to (or a laptop, etc.). The other issue is not wifi strength but wifi interference from other networks. Use netstumbler or vistumber (google for programs) to find nearby networks. Make sure you use a different channel than the close networks. And even moving the radio a few inches can make a big difference. This said, I have two RADIOS that are WIFI/battery and I use them all over my house and deck with no dropouts, even with FLAC files. My WIFI strength is typically between 60% and 95%, and I'm on very different WIFI channels than my neighbors. So your SPECIFIC radio may have a wifi problem or simiply have a weak signal/interference, however there does not seem to be any general firmware failure of the radio with regard to wifi use. p.s. this is a user-to-user forum. logitech doesn't really read these. But there are official logitech support forums for both the server and the SB hardware players where they do read and answer. So if you want info from logitech, I'd suggest posting over there. -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > LMS 7.7.0 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89900 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
