Thank you Paul, very, very much for posting this possible solution. The wlanpoke patch DID solve the '2.4GHz wireless disconnecting' problem for all three of my Squeezeboxes. Thank you also to POMdev for the work he has done to create this patch. And also to rojikewl for taking the time to author the very clear instructions as how to install this patch. NOTE: Given my 2.4GHz was disconnecting so often, I connected the Squeezeboxes using Ethernet and that did not cause any difficulty in installing the patch. Also, given I am not running Windows 10, I reverted to using an older version of WinSCP, v5.15.5 [2019-10-16], that I downloaded from the WinSCP repository on Sourceforge and that apparently runs under all the older versions of Windows. I actually used the 'portable' version of WinSCP, to avoid having to actually install the product. Again, none of that caused any difficulties in installing the patch. Again, my gratitude! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DoctorQuality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72243 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97791
