Another way suggested in similar threads is to go into the Router Setings via a browser (often this needs to be an ethernet-connected machine, as settings usually can't be altered via a purely wifi connection....) and see what type of radio wifi signal is being provided. New routers typically use 802.11 n - which SBs seem not to be able to use. Many - all? - new routers will also allow either 802.11 b or g (the older wifi protocols) to be enabled; and that is what SBs use.
And of course a quick and simple check would be to connect a problematic SB device to the new router via an ethernet cable - if that works, then the problem is alost certainly just the wifi protocol. Painful this - and clearly likely to be more and more of an issue. Is there a "simple" way of entablishing which leading routers still offer b and g, and which may not?
