Description Brian Gregory [UK] 2013-03-01 01:12:23 UTC

I changed my WiFi access point from channel 1 to channel 11 to try and escape interference. Now my Squeezebox Radio almost never connects to it without a lot of fiddling about. Sometimes only re-entering my WiFi encryption password will fix it (not easy for me - it's 63 random characters) so I just swear at it and boot up my laptop instead.

I personally wouldn't mind if I could somehow wipe out the SB Radios memory of the fact that my access point was originally on a different channel but I can find no documentation saying how to do this.

It must be sheer hell for anyone who's access point scans for a clear channel automatically.

My SB radio is running the latest firmware 7.7.2 r9663 and is hardware version 5.
