Thanks all. I unplugged power supply from the SB3 last night, and the display worked after plugging it back in! And yes, it automatically connected to my music server without having to go through the setup again. I need to experiment further, it's possible this was a fluke. If it happens

It should simply connect automatically. My SB3 has been on the same WiFi network for about 8 years, power is completely shut off (unplugged) when not in use, never had to set it up again after initial setup. toby10's

Thanks epoch - I'm going to check the female power jack on the SB3, I seem to recall that never seemed very solid (maybe the solder has weakened). Does anyone know, if I pull the power plug from the SB3, will it reconnect to my music server automatically when I power it up? Or will it try to

I understand zilch about electronics and electricity but this I know: the VFD screen uses high voltage, there is a transformer in there that converts the low voltage current flowing from your PSU to high voltage. If your PSU is weak or if the power plug in the SB3 has some play/rust/soldering

You are correct. IPeng is not an option unless you added a wireless access point and a switch or a wireless router. The Joggler as control on its own would require just a switch. PS you don't gain anything audiophile wise by only having a server and a player connected via crossover cable.

Sorry, I should clarify - My Squeezebox is connected directly to my PC music server using a crossover ethernet cable. I don't have a network (wired or wifi) in the system at all. So I believe using iPeng or any other networked remote control solution isn't an option - but please correct me if I

No both are wired via Powerline Ethernet. The SB3 and Joggler are synced as a group and the Joggler is plugged into an input on my amp (it could actually play but I never switch to that input so it's sound is muted). I do this so I can use the VU Meter (modified) which only works when the
