I have one SB3 running in the family room, no problems, for the past 2 years, and another SB3 running in the kitchen for the past 6 months, also running with no problems. Both are connected wirelessly via an ActionTec MI424-WR router installed by Verizon when we got Fios 2 years ago. About 2 weeks ago, we had 2 brief (less than 1 minute each) power outages. After this power outage, the kitchen SB3 won't work. Instead, during setup it now always gets to a point where it displays a message "Couldn't find DHCP server". The family room SB3 continues to work fine.
I have since done a factory reset multiple times, first to the non-working kitchen SB3, then to both SB3's, then I did a factory reset of the router and both SB3's to rebuild the network from scratch. Same result: Family room SB3 works fine, kitchen SB3 displays the DHCP message. I don't believe this is a problem with the DHCP server on the router, since the family room SB3 and my laptop encounter no trouble getting the DHCP server to assign an IP address, and when I connect the kitchen SB3 directly (via ethernet cable) to the router, the DHCP server assigns it an IP and it works fine. Pardon my ignorance on this issue, but is it possible that the power outage occurred just as some type of write was occurring in my kitchen SB3? How could this power outage have affected the DHCP wireless communication for just the one SB3? Thanks for any help. Here are some details: SBS: 7.5.3 - r31792 firmware: 132 Windows XP Router: ActionTec MI424-WR Rev.
