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?
