Is the server wireless or wired?
I would also suggest trying it with the SB3 wired to rule out h/w
issues and possibly confirm wireless issues. You can fairly easily
check wireless performance by using the 'buffer fullness' bar in the
'Now Playing' view.

Hi, The nearest I seem to be able to get is the addition of Network Test

Good luck.

No, it does make sense as the new laptop mains was not charging the
battery - loose lead - hence it tripped out because the battery was
'dead'.
Hopefully this is the end.
What a superb piece of equipment.
