I'd take his offer. If you can't test it then you can't really list it
on e-bay as working can you? Not much good for anything other than

I thought it was a bog-standard laptop wifi card included with the SB3.
It certainly looks like one.

I think wifi in general is a bit of a nightmare. At work we had big
problems with wifi IP phones (Cisco 7920). Even if the phones just
require a mere 100 kbps bandwidth we got choppy audio and lost
connections. To make it work at a reasonable level we ended up with no
more than 16 AP's, and that's
I have two wireless routers. One is line-of-sight to the SB3 and the
other is a few rooms away. I cannot connect to the line-of-sight router
and when I do, the connection is bad and I get choppy music. When I
connect to the other (and better router) I get good music quality even

Is that hardware address from the player or the last connected server?
The player should have 00:04:20 prefix.

How about trying this:
1) Load squeezecenter on one of your laptops. Be sure to emulate the
same sort of setup you have on your current server on your laptop -
e.g. if your music is stored on a separate server or NAS, have the
laptop get the music from the same place.
2) Plug it into the router a
If the office is in the same house, a 50 or 100 foot ethernet cable

It sounds like you probably lit something else up too. Take a few more
tokes and the slowness of the music will seem natural.

No, it's not clear at all. The entire purpose of asking you do
TEMPORARILY (!!) wire the connection is to determine if the problem is
with the wireless connection. It COULD be th

You may actually have a faulty SB3 but you haven't worked with the tech
support to ascertain whether this is the case or not. Based on the
available evidence, I conclude that you are an idiot.
