I haven't read all the post, but I remember having a similar problem. It
turned out that on my IR remote one solder pad of the LED was broken.
That bad contact caused the Squeezebox not accepting commands from the
remote sometimes.
I opened the remote, resoldered the LED, and I'm happy ever
I recently purchased a Duet for outside use and yesterday was really the
first day I was able to use it for any length of time. Like you, I use
SqueezeNetwork exclusively.
All day I had problems similar to yours (drop outs, rebuffering, dead
air = massive frustration and embarrassment).

You may have had interfering ch #'s as most routers are set to ch 6 at
the factory and many (most?) users do not ever change from the default

Did you ever try NetStumbler to see what the neighbors ch #'s were?

This is a very common problem with a simple solution (for now -- until
some neighbors start clogging up the other channels too).
More good news is you just made your home wifi network way more robust
for other purposes as well -- you will likely get much better video
throughput, better laptop

Have you tried to ping Squeezenetwork ?
You could have a latency problem even if your internet is fast.
They are some kinds of internet that simply do not work for this

When you go to available WiFi networks from any of your wireless
computers do you see networks other than yours? It would be best to do
this with a laptop at the same location as your SB3.
