WiFi Radio connection problems?

NCARalph · 07-27-08, 11:23 PM

I got one of these a C Crane CC WiFi radio and it's great except that every couple of days I have to power cycle it because it looses the wifi connection and can't reconnect.

Power cycling immediately restores the connection and all is well.

I talked to the C Crane tech support and was underwhelmed. Eventually I returned it and got another and it does exactly the same thing.

My question is if anyone else is seeing this with either this radio or other brands. It's my understanding that these are all based on one of the Receiva modules which has all the functionality, ready to be put into a product. I'm wondering if these modules have a design problem.

For what it's worth ... Amazon sells similar devices. The user opinion for the C Crane unit
was not that positive.

YMMV
