Hi all,

I'm having a problem and I hope that I can get some insight into a solution. I'll try to give the simplified scenario.

I have a N800 and it connects ok to a Linksys WRT54G. Whenever I start streaming an Internet radio channel (eg. sky.fm, BBC) using media player it disconnects after a few minutes with error messages - "media stream not found at given location" and "unable to perform operation. Try again.". Often I have to disconnect and re-connect. Browsing websites is not a problem and I don't loose connection.

I've tried the suggestions in other threads but to no avail and curiously, unlike other persons, stream radio doesn't solve my connectivity problem

Thanks.

Could be the wi-fi power-saving timeout settings on the N800 itself.
Try lengthening or shortening them.

I had the same problem with that router. I fixed it by updating the firmware ( v1.02.2, Jun. 7, 2007). Since then I've not had a problem.

I tried the value 1000, guess I'll try others.

I'm running the latest HyperWRT for the WRT54G.

My WRT54GS is rock solid using Sveasoft Talisman 1.2 (I really should use something better/more open, but it works for me...)

But if I'm streaming radio, would the wi-fi timeout? I mean, others have had to use Internet radio streaming to keep their connection awake but in my case it's dropping but browsing stays up

Anyway, I'm trying the settings and now testing the value '200'.

OK, I've tried 200, 500, 1000 with no luck. I was able keep the connection up for as long as 45 mins before it dropped.

If anyone has a similar setup I'd like to hear what config settings you have.

I was having a problem streaming an Internet radio channel too. And with receiving AIM responses. After reading the post here I adjusted to the Power Save Mode (RSM) on the N800 to 1000 and both now work. I have a La Fonera router. 1000 is the only time that I found that works.
