Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
Wah Changed router channel to 13 - dire, everything just tuttered. Changed to channel 1 and now the SB3 survives the microwave, my higher resoultion (24/48) ripped vinyl files all get through without missing a beat, and I'm sure the whole shebang sounds a little better (but that's just probably wishful thinking).

Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
Alternatively, get Homeplugs - just Google for sites - and use the wired connection. I went with these recently as I got hacked off with my Squeezebox suffering from interference whatever channel I selected. I could go for days or weeks after switching channels, but eventually the source of the interference would track me down, and kill my music. About £50 for a pair, plus delivery is what I paid - no more drop outs! -- gw43 gw43's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40239 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Is all I have to do is to change the channel number to anything other than 6 ? Will there be other settings I need to change as well ? Its exactly as easy as that! Change the channel to, say, 1. You'll probably need to restart the devices that are wirelessly connecting to it, but thats it. Test your SBs to see how its all working (might you have interference from neighbours with their own WLANs?). If channel 1 isn't reliable try channel 13. Then heat a bowl of water in the microwave and see if the SB keeps working...

Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
Change channels in the router ? Agh, this is where my lack of technical expertise rears its head ! I've looked at the router configuration screens and there is a channel setting menu which offers channels 1 to 13 (currently set at channel 6). Is all I have to do is to change the channel number to anything other than 6 ? Will there be other settings I need to change as well ? I have two SB3s connected wirelessly and a QNAP server ethernet wired to the router (Phillips).

Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
I guess your SB3 uses wireless? The microwave emitts radiation in the same frequency band in which the sb3's wireless card operates (2.4GHz). Try to switch the wireless channel in your router configuration to see if this improves things. A filter in the mains socket wouldn't help at all. -s. -- slimpy slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40239 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 doesn't like microwave
Like slimpy says. I had exactly this problem, it was fixed by changing channel. Remember that the channels overlap a lot so going from 1 to 2, say, won't do very much for you...

My microwave kills all WiFi in the house. I guess I could just buy a new microwave.
