I've had a SB3 running perfectly on a wireless network here (UK) for 2 years now. All of a sudden it has stopped connecting to the network. Nothing has changed in the network settings or PC settings. I did download Squeezecenter 7.2 a week or so ago but it has worked fine since that installation. Having spent 2 hours tearing my hair out trying to eliminate the obvious, I am on the point of giving up...
Here is the configuration: SB3 connected wirelessly to D-Link DSL-604T modem/router. Network uses static IPs and 64 bit WEP security. PC running Squeezecenter is connected via ethernet to router. This afternoon, I came to the SB3 and its screen was blank. It was plugged in but there was no display. So I pulled out the power cord, waited 10 seconds, and put it back in. The usual startup/setup display appeared. I pointed it at the wireless network (it found the SSID fine). The SB3 recognised that the network was encrypted and offered me the opportunity to enter the WEP key, which I did. It then tried to connect and failed. I checked the WEP key, restarted the router and even uninstalled and reinstalled Squeezecenter for good measure - not that that was really relevant since the SB3 hadn't even connected to the network properly. Still no progress. The current settings showed that it was trying to use DHCP and it wasn't offering me a way to use static IPs so I changed the router to run its DHCP server, which I then tested with an iPod Touch. I did a factory reset of the SB3 then went through the same setup procedure. STILL no connection to the network. So then I disabled the WEP security from the router and tried again. The SB3 realised during the setup phase that there was no WEP security enabled, so it didn't ask me for the WEP key, but STILL it wouldn't connect to the network. My iPod touch connected fine. I did a second factory reset on the SB3 but still no success. So I am out of ideas. There is nothing wrong with the network. The SB3 has 73% wireless signal strength (it tells me) and other wireless devices connect fine. It can't be a static IP issue or a security issue. What could be wrong? Is it time to throw the SB3 away?
