Just to add to the above post, a lot of times only the top or bottom
half of a receptacle will be switched. Make sure you try both sockets.

How about rewiring the power outlet? In many cases, a switched outlet
can be converted to always-on by changing one wire connection in the
outlet box. If an unswitched wire is present in the outlet box, this
only takes a few minutes. If an unswitched wire is not present, an
electrician could
To confirm JJZolx's comments, my Radio performs exactly as prescribed.
No matter what the off state it always reconnects to my WiFi network.
This is using WPA2+AES and a hidden SSID. You should be broadcasting
yours.
When yours does not reconnect is the WiFi icon blue or red (I presume
red)?
I just purchased an SBR for my elderly parents, hoping it would provide
a fool-proof listening experience. My initial impressions, and
comments in this forum, have me wondering. But if I can solve this one
problem, I think it could work for them.
The SB is plugged into a wall socket controlled
It should automatically log in again to the same network.

A battery isn't likely to help your problem. When the Radio is on
battery power and is idle it will hard power off by itself after 20(?)
minutes to save the battery from draining completely. When the Radio is
in soft power off (standby) it's never disconnected from the network.
I just pulled the
Thanks for the observation about the battery. Now I don't feel so bad
not being able to get one!
The network is encrypted, but i configured the SB with the password.
However, it's a hidden network, in that it doesn't broadcast it's
SSID (so that is also configured in the SB network settings). It
I'd try a couple of things:
- When this happens next time, open a web browser and see if the
server sees the Radio. That would at least tell you whether the Radio
is reconnecting to the network and to the SB server. If so, you should
also be able to play music on the Radio from the
