I'm surprised that a Raspberry Pi configured as Wifi router to solve the
Wifi  disconnect issue with the Squeezebox Radio hasn't been tried as a
solution to the Radio's dropping Wifi connections after a short period
of time. (I was not comfortable with some of the solutions that altered
the Radio's software; would rather blow up a $30 Raspberry pi than an
irreplaceable radio). So I set up a Wifi bridge on the Pi that used Pi's
wifi connection to bridge the ethernet connection on the Radio.  I used
the script developed by Will Haley (search the web) to create the bridge
(save the script in /usr/bin he does not specify in the his post) .
Requires an updated Pi with SSH enabled and connected to your WiFi
network (before you run the script once the bridge is created SSH is
really optional) . A change to the Radio to connect to ethernet with a
remote library pointed to your Squeeze server's ip address. That's all.
Has been working with no issues for 3 days. I have two Radio's I would
like to keep running as long as I can.
