Connect a switch/hub to the SB3 and you can connect more devices if needed. -- Uluen SYSTEM: MUSIC -> EARS http://www.last.fm/user/Uluen Uluen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12166 View this thr

Re: [slim] Can you use the SB3 as a wireless router?

I believe you do need a crossover cable. I have my SB3 acting as a wireless bridge for my popcorn hour, works great. Simply a case of plugging it in and then doing a factory restart of the SB so you can turn on wireless bridge mode. -- Gibbo

Re: crossover cable. The SB3 is not auto-sensing, so if the other device is also not auto-sensing you will need a crossover. If it is, you won't. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?useri

I'm not an expert on this stuff either, but just consider it a nice additional feature. It was also a feature of the SB2. I imagine it was a little piece of low/no cost engineering that can be useful in some settings. See the product specs for confirmation -- look under the Network section of htt

Re: [slim] Can you use the SB3 as a wireless router?

I use the wireless bridge feature to connect my PS3 and Xbox 360 to the internet (not at the same time though ... I swap the ethernet cable over to whichever console I am using at the time). I am pretty sure you don't need a crossover cable. I just used the 1m cable that came with the 360 which I

Re: [slim] Can you use the SB3 as a wireless router?

It's not a wireless router per se, but a wireless bridge. I've never used my SB3 that way, so I don't know if you need a crossover cable or if a straight-thru ethernet cable will suffice. If you don't already have the crossover cable, try a regular cable first to see if that works. -- aubuti --

[slim] Can you use the SB3 as a wireless router?

If I have another device (a media player) with ethernet access, can I plug a cross over ethernet cable into the SB3 and piggy back off it for wireless network access for the other device? -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro (sp2), speedtouch780, squeeze box 3 slimserver version
