Yeah, you want ch 1 or 6 or 11. But arbitrarily switching ch's is just a guessing game until you use a NetStumbler like program to see what ch's are around you. If that is even the issue. -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http:

Thanks for the replies. I don't think the firmware issue applies to me from what I understand. wifi signal is showing at 90% in SBS for the SB3. This is a bit lower then the other two that are currently switched on (100% and 96%) but still seems pretty decent. I am sure it has been at about th

I have tried swapping the power supply (in fact I bought a new one) but I am still seeing the same problem. Is what I describe symptomatic of a drop in the wi-fi connection? This box is definitely displaying much worse behaviour than the other Squeezeboxes we have. For example, I am happy if

Try swapping power supplies (SB3 and Touch power supplies can be swapped as long as the Touch is not using it's USB port with an SB3 power supply). Try the SB3 wired if possible. Must enter Setup and select wired connection. -- toby10
