Factory reset and try with ethernet, just to see that it is only the wifi. Also a long shot, sometimes their mac adress can get corrupted. Check in settings > information > "playername" and scroll down to "mac" this number should be the same as on the sticker under the player. You can adjust it

Sinatra: Yes, thanks, I tried the option to go with setting a static IP address. It set that up fine (it responded with "Setup Complete"), but then at the next step it still came back with Unable to connect to server. I think rbz is right, that the outage and subsequent restart (which likely ha

Sounds to me as if the outage may have partially killed the SB's wi-fi card. If it's still under warranty then by all means try that route (but don't mention the outage to Logitech). If the warranty has expired you could prove this by swapping the cards between the SBs. -- rbz5416

The behavior on this thing is real erratic. It now usually -- but not always -- finds the DHCP server and gets an IP address okay, but it can never wirelessly connect to the SBS server, nor can it find mysqueezebox.com. This weekend I did what I think may be the ultimate test for it. I took b

i would try a static ip outside the dhcp range. i setup my sb2 like that long ago and plan to do the same on a SBR. i found it necessary for both and its relatively easy to do on devices with a display. imo, the slim dhcp implementation sucks; it works for some, but clearly given all the thread

The downgrade to 7.5.2 went fine (garym, thanks for the help). I'm getting the same strange behavior with 7.5.2. At first, it connected to the server just fine. I started playing a song via Rhapsody, and then a minute into the song it popped up the same "can't connect to server" message, and ev

I contacted my ISP, and they broke the DHCP leases for all devices connected on my network. I'm not sure if that was something I could have done on my own, but anyway, that fixed the DHCP problem, and after restarting the SB3, the SB3 was able to get an IP address via DHCP. However, after it t

I tried the xilinx ("1") reset to no effect. I previously had also tried the unplugging routine for both the router and SB3 (without factory reset) to no effect. Just tried it again without success. The SB3 does indicate that it has connected to the server, but then when it goes to obtain an IP
