Yes, in order to download firmware from the server, the player needs to

I think we have two definitions of "connect". One is a connection that
is achieved when the SB reports a wireless signal strength of 80% or
so. The other is when it actually sends data.

How can I use a cable if my router has no open "ports" into which I can
insert the connector? If I take out the one ethernet cable that is
presently inserted so as to plug in a wire from the SB3 to it, I lose
connectivity to my server PC which is, of
Isn't it true that you have to be connected in order for a ping to work?

1. You can update fireware via wireless if you are connected.
2. If the SB3 doesn't connect, you want to kick it, not the server.
Hold down the left arrow to get to the setup screen. You should see a

To get the latest firmare onto your SB, you'll need to connect via the
Ethernet port log enough to do the firmware update.
After that (assuming the firmware upgrade helps your wireless issue),
you'll be able to connect wirelessly.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Yes I am running Windows. And I am trying your idea. So, far after
about 10 restarts, nothing is changing.
Is the fact that I am running an extremely old firmware version in the
