I don't have the equipment to reproduce this exact scenario, but my Rio
plays fine connected _directly_ to a Linksys WET11. Though I'm transcoding
mp3's to 128 too.

You could try connecting the wet11 directly to the ddar and transcode? Try
wet11 first, then transcoding.

To turn off dhcp set <dhcp enabled="N" /> in xplrionet.xml

To manually add an entry, edit dhcp.xml and add a line like

<rio mac="0:90:0:11:49:AF" ip="192.168.1.180" />

To the <dhcplist> section

You also need to set the dhcp address etc

Note that leading zero's should _not_ be included in the mac address entry.
Also, any entries in dhcp.xml are obviously ignored if dhcp
enabled="N"
