Just a thought but there are two elements to WiFi reception - signal
strength and signal quality. The SB3 along with many other devices just
measures the former but if there is interference (DECT phones,
microwave, neighbours WiFi, reflections from steel structures) the
signal quality will be poor. This means corruption and the device will
have to constantly request the packet to be sent again, slowing
responses. I have seen 80% strength and 25% quality. Maybe the
orientation of your SB3 makes it more susceptible to noise than the SB1
- try rotating it. Also with WiFi becoming ubiquitous it is likely
others around you are enjoying (?) the technology. At a friends house
down the road there are 7 networks available (most unsecured!) yet at
my house there is only mine.

Also try placing the SB3 right next to the WiFi router and see how
quickly it connects. Have you tried a different channel? There are 11
to choose from and after much experimentation I found Ch1 gave me the
best results. Default is Ch6.
