I wish to revive this thread because something astonishing (to me, at least) revealed itself yesterday. I had played around with positioning the SB3 and what not - no joy. Nothing ever fixed my intermittent "Can't connect" problems. Recently, I completely rejigged our AV stack in the living room and at long last the video gear is now close to the audio gear. To facilitate the video streaming in the new location, I recalled that the SB3 could act as a wireless bridge. Turns out, that the SB3 provides better streaming than the PS3 native WLAN adapter, for example. So with the aid of a simple LAN switch, the SB3 is now supplying (wireless) network services to the entire home theatre (until such time that I can drag a new CAT5 cable into position). Here's the truly goofy part, which I would dearly love someone to explain:
Last night, we were streaming video to the TV *ALL THE WHILE THE SB WAS ON THE BLINK*, intermittently displaying the time but mostly sulking "Can't connect". My point is: all the time I associated the "Can't connect" messages with problems at the *physical* layer when, since yesterday, I am almost certain that these problems are further UP the network stack. Even after I stopped the video stream, the SB would not operate normally. So it is not like a lack of bandwidth would explain away the problem. The ultimate resolution is always the same: power cycle the SB and it works again - for a while. Any ideas?
