In response to my post, user 'P Nelson' posted a link to this 'wlanpoke' patch solution at https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?114775-Simplified-instructions-for-Squeezebox-Radio-Wi-Fi-fix-(wlanpoke) Thank you, P Nelson! 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. The instructions for installing the patch looked rather daunting at first glance. However, the process is actually quite simple (thanks to the instructions provided by rojikewl) and it only took a few minutes per radio to install it. 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=112449
