I have had the same problem beginning about two releases prior to the current
release. I am on 7.7.0 now. My Squeezebox classic is on a wired ethernet
connection. I have a Squeezebox radio that I do not have a problem with. I
normally see two players listed, but when the classic cuts out,

If that is an option, the answer is *Yes!* (Bold text, capital Y and
exclamation mark included.)
Never let WiFi be a pain in your back if you can connect it via
Ethernet.

That kind of signal fluctuation indicates a serious signal issue. With
such signal issues I'd question whether or
The computer server is wired and the signal the receiver is getting is
from my wifi. I have tried 1,6,and 11.

What is the name (SSID) of your WiFi? Is it a unique name you entered
onto the router? Or is it the default name supplied by the router mfr?

If you decide to go with power line adapters, the ones from MonoPrice
are quite a bit cheaper than others and work great!

Unlikely a new router would help. Faster is a moot point because the
only way to get faster WiFi is to go to an N based router but your SB
players are all G based. Your problem is more likely signal quality,
not speed.
Is your server computer wired to the router? Tried the receivers
closer to
The server is still scanning after the install ? look to see if it uses
copious amount of cpu , then let it finish scanning.
Wire the server (maybe a N class wifi for the server).
Wire both server and players as a test ? use the web-UI iPeng may just

Thank you both for the helpful suggestions. I will try them today!!

Also, if the signal strength my receiver is getting is not enough, would
a new router with g wifi capable of a longer distance fix the situation?

The WRT54G is a good router, hard to beat. If I were you, I'd try to get
to the root of the problem before throwing money at it.

My suggestion, first try the one easiest thing to check. Toby covers it
but it's a bit buried in his comprehensive response. The problem could
be as simple as interference from a neighbor's Wifi using the same
channel you're using.
Check what signals are visible in your home. If you see other
If WiFi signal strength is a problem, try using Ethernet Powerline
Adapters (aka Homeplugs) to connect your Duet Receiver to your router.
There are a number of models to choose from; here are some made by
Netgear:
OK. Still not getting a solid signal from the wireless router. Turned
off and and b and tried various channels. Reset the router and moved
the router (as far as I can) and still no luck. The homeplugs look
promising but for the price would it make more sense to purchase a long
range router? I
If you can connect the Receiver to your router with an Ethernet cable,
that's the best solution.
If not, I suggest looking on eBay for home plugs at a lower cost. They
work well and will eliminate your frustrations with WiFi.
