AIR seems to be working completely reliably with a wired connection between my MacBook Pro and my router. It has run for over 32 hours without dropping out.
I then tried disconnecting the Ethernet cable and reconnecting it. Surprisingly, AIR seems to tolerate up to about five (5!) seconds of disconnection before it considers the link to the Devialet broken (at which point the icon greys out). With breaks shorter than this, it just takes it in its stride and continues when the connection is re-made. With longer breaks, it has to be manually connected again. All this is as you'd want it to be.
The fact that AIR seems to be very tolerant of breaks in connectivity on the wired interface makes me wonder what can be happening when the wireless connection is used. There certainly isn't anything like a 5-second loss of wireless connectivity when the drop-out occurs. Very strange.
