Hi All - I experienced the same issue w/the WiFi signal disconnecting on my Squeezebox Radio that many of us have. My solve was to buy a WiFi extender w/Ethernet port and the radio has been flawless since. That said, I donÂ’t believe the WiFi receiver is failing as many others have concluded. My radio was rock solid for years and this issue only appeared last month right after I updated my router firmware. I also donÂ’t think a physical part in hundreds of radios could all fail simultaneously.
IÂ’m hoping some of the experts here (mherger, looking at youcould PLEASE make solving this issue a priority for the community AND for mac users which to my knowledge wlanpoke does not work for. This community has kept these devices going for years so really hoping this can be fixed so it can continue for many more!
Thanks!

This does seem to be a widespread problem. I haven't suffered it (yet) for my one radio that is on WIFI. From everything I read, it seems to be caused by nearby WIFI 6 routers (e.g., a neighbor). I'm not a coder so have no clue about the technical challenge, but it would be fantastic to have something like the wlanpoke solution embedded in the community firmware for the radio.

The wlanpoke script (code?) runs on the SB Radio so I don't understand your comment about it not working for Mac users?
I have suggested making a plug-in that would install wlanpoke similar to the community firmware. If I had the skills, I would attempt it; provided POMDev who developed wlanpoke was okay with the idea.
This problem will grow as more people upgrade their routers. For me I have turned of wifi6, but a neighbor must be using wifi6 has I have the disconnect problem.

Definitely a very repeatable problem - I do also experience it. Luckily my Radio is quite unimportant, and none of the other devices have the issue.
