Why no wifi auto connect?

[pi_]

I've had the radio for a week now and it seems to work well and do what I want it to but every day when I bring up my network it will not connect unless I manually go through SETTINGS:ADVANCED:WIRELESS CONNECTIONS then select my network from the list (the display shows a check mark next to it)

Why doesn't it just do this automatically? I'm considering returning it.

Tried just waiting an extra minute or two? Mine reconnects fine to my network but takes a little extra time. Also the red WiFi icon seems to lag badly in that the Radio will actually start playing before the icon correctly shows it is connected (white).

All of my Squeezeboxes, including the Radio, reconnect by themselves to the wifi network when the wireless router is brought down and then back up again.

Yes just wait.
It is actually so that if you touch the controls then you have to do it manually but if you just let it be it will auto connect.

But why turn of the network ? It is good to reboot the router each month or so, but why not just leave it on

Waiting doesn't work, I have to either go to the wireless connect menu or the network repair selection. Once it's connected I seem to have no problems. I normally just shut everything down at night. I suppose I could leave it all up but that doesn't answer my question as to why it doesn't just auto-connect. I was wondering if I have something set wrong because everything else I use hooks up on it's own okay. Maybe I should just take it back for an exchange or refund but honestly, I don't know what I'd replace it with - when it works it does exactly what I want it to do.

Just leave the router on, everything else can be turned off. Is your WiFi name (SSID) unique to you? Neighbors WiFi do not use same name?

Try a different wifi channel, especially if you're currently using one above 11.
