Review on Sangean WFR-28: Gray/White Internet Radio with FM-RBDS, USB, and Color Display - Discover Limitless Music! by Prem Reyel

It worked like a charm for about three months and it was great! Then, as others have reported, it won't maintain a stable wireless network connection despite a VERY strong and reliable network signal (we use Google's WiFi mesh wireless network, which can be monitored with an iPhone app). As a result, you listen to your favorite channel, and then remain silent for 20-60 seconds while the radio searches for WiFi, and then return to the program for 2-3 minutes until you feel nauseous. An iPad connected to the same network and placed next to a radio did not experience this loss of signal when tuned to internet radio. A quick solution: I switched the radio reception to the guest network set up in Google. Wi-Fi, and for another month I had uninterrupted reception, and then the problem returned. I only use it as an FM receiver now - maybe I should have stuck with my trusty old Sony ICF2010? Here's the thing, when it works it's great - I could pick out a few design flaws (like the overly bright display even on the darkest settings and the slippery/glossy surface), but the device is, as others in these reviews attest has only disadvantages.
