Partial insulation with alu foil doesn't work. So back to a full alu cover: top, the 2 sides and the back. Now that I know how to open a SqBx - would it be possible to connect an external arial to the small arial inside?

Alu foil covers area 1/2 of top, 1/2 of back and 100% of the side next to screen. Doesn't work. Wi-Fi loss and restart 3x in +/- 24h. Next step Cover right hand side and top completely. Leave back uncovered. See what this does. By the way - how to open a SqBx? Take off front panel? How?

Today I removed the alu foil from the right hand side. Wi-Fi loss as before. Tomorrow: cover right hand side and right hand side top and see what happens. Gie's Profile:

I suspect that works because that's the primary direction of the interference. I experience dropouts when I place the Radio on top of my fridge and use the microwave. It sits about 3 ft away. Never had to actually restart the Radio, but it does usually require pressing 'Play'.

Still going strong. No more WiFi drop outs or disconnects. Next step : find the area that has to be shielded. Top? Left side? etc. Does anybody know where the antenna is located on the inside? Gie's Profile:

After sooo many years - found a simple solution!!! Have been using SqBx for more than 10 years or so. Mainly as an internet radio - SqBx connected to WiFi box of my telecom provider. Nothing special. Since 2, 3,4 years WiFi connection cutting out in an unpredictable manner. Well known problem.
