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

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.
