OK, finally got to the bottom of this. Tried rebooting the switch - no change. Tried removing the wireless card - no change. So I got hold of a long ethernet cable and strung it through the house from the switch to the kitchen - and the SB3 started working fine.
Ah! so it has to be the cable that passes through three walls, thinks I - not looking forward to replacing it. But not so fast: I swapped the ports in use on the switch and now the SB3 is working fine on the original cable, but not on the long one strung through the house. So that makes me believe it's a dodgy port on the switch. I then tried running the SB3 on the dodgy port when it was in the office (ie. close to the switch), expecting it to start rebuffering - but it was fine. So my conclusion from all this is that maybe the switch has one port that happens to be a bit down on power, and combined with the long cable run to the kitchen makes it a bit borderline. Meanwhile, perhaps the SB3's ethernet receiver is just a bit less sensitive than the SB2's - sample variation could easily explain that - which is why the SB2 never had a problem. But in the end I now have a working SB3 in the kitchen, and didn't need to replace the cable. Thanks to all who chipped in with suggestions.
