I've also noticed in the last couple of weeks my SB Radio has been a
pain. I walked in the room the other day and it disconnected then
reconnected to the network (wired) while my other devices were ok. I
usually get the alarm twice in the morning lately, the first is some
canned music which I didn
I also recommend contacting Logitech support because -- in addition to
reasons cited by bpa -- sometimes users here have reported that
Logitech has been just plain generous/accommodating in replacing
products that are recently out of warranty. It can't hurt to try.

You should still contact support, They may be able to help for example
there may have been a product recall. IIRC with some early Duet
controller there was a known problem with the antenna placement which
affected some but not all.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately my card only gives me 90 days
purchase protection - no extended war
Check your credit card used for the purchase, it may include Buyers
Protection extending the mfr warranty up to one additional year (giving
you till Oct 2012).

Yes - just found it on their site. My 2 years was up in October 2011.
Not far off but I doubt they'd be willing to honor the warranty.

Could you use powerline ethernet network? Defeats the object of a
portable Radio, I know.
Its something im considering for my next tech investment - so i can
stream HD over the plug sockets.

yeah the repeater is probably a much better wifi client than the Radio
.
The bridge7repeater is it modern N class device , then it should be a
significant improvement
I would be surprised if it could be fixed in a fw update it is most
likely a coincidence that it stopped working around the 7.6.1

Just a quick further update... Last night I disabled the wireless on the
Radio and plugged it via ethernet into a wireless bridge, the idea being
to eliminate the Radio's internal wireless as a source of problems.

and you're sure you don't accidentally have two things using the same IP
address. You have one router handing out addresses with DHCP? Or do you
have some things set to fixed (static IP), and DHCP also assigns
something that IP address? Or you have two routers and you have DHCP

I too am having nothing but trouble with the Radio with recent firmware
releases (whilst 2 Booms and an SB3 on my network work perfectly).
It's hard to say when the trouble started, but it was certainly within
the last several weeks and I'm guessing since the 7.6.1 update. In my
case the radio

I have to agree with Cliff and Paularios - the Radio has gone from being
an excellent unit to a rather annoying one over the course of the past
year. I have three SqueezeDevices, and curiously, only the one obtained
since Logitech moved onto the scene is by now a clunker - the Boom and

The version 7.6.1r6482 is probably the worst ever made by Logitech for
the Squeeze box. I don't understand why, in the world, those software
engineers at Logitech were thinking they were doing, when they chose to
mess up with version 7.6.0 that was working just fine and was stable.

Unfortunately I received (and installed) 2 updates, which were a few

degrade it seriously. So wh

I've had my SB Radio for a couple of years now. After many months of
very poor software, I finally got a release (I think it was 7.6.0)
which was just great and reliable.
Now this new 7.6.1 r9482 release has been downloaded and installed and
the SB Radio has gone all weird again.
