Does the SB3 respond more readily if controlled from the SC? What combination of SC and SB3 are you running? And since you did get a new wireless router, did you get the latest firmware for your router? I am asking because you seem to have changed several things at once. I am not *that* surprised that WEP wore out its welcome, support for it is starting to become a bit patchier. I think these days most devices are more stable when using WPA, but some routers still require a firmware update for widest WPA compatibilty, as do end devices. So step number one is ensure you have solid wireless connectivity, which I would define as the ability to run network test at 2Mbit/s for a long period of time without errors. Once that is the case, I would look at the relationship between SC and the SB3, which can get unstable at times. It is not often, but in my 3+ years using SB3s I would say that I have had to uninstall *everything* about 4 times. Meaning factory reset the SB3, uninstall SC and erase preferences, and start from scratch. The reason for that was mysterious and inexplicable sudden loss of connectivity, and just as in your case, weird effects all around. It can happen. But before you do that, ensure that connectivity is solid. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo Vista Ultimate 64 Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v Amplification: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Tuned and self-built Ceeroy 3 way Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53530 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
