The internal wifi on the SB3's is a small daughter card. Several SB3's have stopped working due to failed wifi card, and started working when the card was removed. The original SlimDevices SB3's were available as wired only (did not include the wifi card), and the units will work wired only when the card is removed. It might be worth a try removing to see if it fixes your problem (I believe it requires TORX driver to disassemble the SB3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106765 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
