To solve my own problem I loaded ww-drt onto my 3 Buffalo Access Points,
removed WDS, setup each with the SAME SSID, Security settings and each
on a different channel 1,6 11. Both my radios are now working - 22
tracks without interruption (previously lucky to get 4) other one 30. I
would say
Well, I bought a new wireless router (Apple Time Capsule, which is the
same as AirPort Extreme plus a hard disk for backups) and that seems to
have resolved my problem. It's been three days since I installed it
(took maybe half an hour) and I haven't had a dropout since. With the
new router, I
I have the same issue as OP and don't think my router is at fault. I
have quite a few items connected to a dual wifi network and they have
no issues. This is a fault that started with an upgrade on the radio.
My radio had worked for over 12 months with no issues, now i check it
each night before

Well that didn't take long. Despite adding the port forward settings to
my linksys router per the link above, after playing for about 30 minutes
the squeezebox radio just lost the wifi signal again. I will search the

Verified there are no duplicate IP's?

Something to try is maybe drop down the max settings for both Data Rate
and Transmit Power, maybe set them to Auto if available.
RF devices can become overwhelmed if there is too much power (signal)
hitting them. Ask anyone who may live too close to a TV tower. ;)

As near as I can tell there are no duplicate IPs. Can you recommend a
Mac utility or command-line tool to list all clients on a network?
I've tried ping 192.168.0.255 but the Squeezeboxes do not respond to
that, though they will respond to a ping to their individual IP
addresses. The router
For that matter, could I set up Internet Connection Sharing on the
Squeezebox Server machine (a Mac Mini) and have the Radio connect to
that rather than the possibly-problematic router?

Stepping back, if you're not comfortable adjusting something like the
Transmit Power, the Ruckus is probably not the ideal model for you.

Thanks for your recommendations! The Ruckus router has worked great for
years (much better than my previous piece-of-xxx router) except with
the Radio, but I will strongly consider switching to an Airport Express

a problem that has been reported here by several other users with no
common solution: it falls off my wifi network (wifi icon turns red) at

I would definitely try #1. Maybe try disabling security on your router
to see if it makes any difference, too. Have you tried moving the
Radio? Sometimes just a few feet can make a major difference. Powerline
adapters are another option. I use them in a few spots.

I agree on trying #1, G devices will likely disconnect but should
automatically reconnect without any additional authentication.
I've turned OFF b/G mode on many WiFi routers, making them G only, I've
never had a G device not reconnect by itself.
Have you done a WiFi site survey? Other WiFi's
I have switched my router to G-only. Some devices did have to
reauthenticate; others did not.
I'll let you know if that fixes the problem.

I too have had a radio for a year and am noticing the daily drop out
but only very recently. I only use the radio for a morning
Well, switching to G-only did NOT fix the problem. The Radio dropped
off the network while I was fixing dinner. I rebooted it and it
dropped off again a few minutes later, only to come back by itself
after a while (a common pattern).
As I said in my original post, I am using channel 1 because

I considered a Ruckus too, btw.
Some wireless APs regardless of price, touted range, features, may not
perform well in certain environments. And this can be very bad with
the newer SBs. A recent high end router was simply terrible here.
We're now using an Airport Extreme, and it has been
Also, MrC, when you say you tried another router that was simply
terrible, were you seeing a Squeezebox Radio drop off the network like
I am? (It's not a signal strength issue or DHCP, as near as I can
tell... it simply refuses to connect.)
