did you really swap SB3's when you tried this ? then it must be some wifi interference/problem if the same SB3 works in one location but not another, then it's nothing wrong with the SB3 itself. That was the point we wanted you to prove, you have eliminate different possibilities one at the time. It can be dect phones microwaves baby monitors rc cars and whatnots. How bad would it be to run a cable ? if you look at the time you have to invest in tracing this problem. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75886 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
