Thanks for the info and advice, think maybe I will try 6.2.2 upgrade
next. Although I have a (bodged!) solution...

I am thinking more and more that it must be something to do with the
wireless signal quality. The strange thing is that the SB3 will connect
when it is in the hallway downstairs (the router is upstairs) and works
absolutely fine then - left it running all night last night and was
still playing this morning. (BTW - this is with FLACs, so I think that
proves that it is an issue with the Belkin router that is causing my
other problem.)

However, as soon as I move the SB3 into the lounge, next to my hi-fi,
where it needs to go and plug it in, it finds the wireless network
(signal strength 70% - 85%) but will not connect to the slimserver. As
a test, earlier I put it on an extension lead, connected to the network
with the SB3 in the hallway, then moved it into the lounge.
Unbelievably, it maintained the connection and is now working fine in
the right location!!!

How do you explain that?! These problems get stranger and stranger!!!

The problem is that it is now plugged into an extension lead, and if I
change it over to the proper wall socket I will lose the connection! If
only my SB3 power lead was a 4 or 5 metres longer!!

Danco - I have looked at the Network Health stats in the slimserver and
it all looks pretty good (when it is connected).

Stevieweevie - your setup sounds very similar to mine. The latest
router firmware I found on the Netgear site is v3.01.25 - are you sure
you have 3.01.29? If so, where did you get it? I assume your setup is
working fine - is 2,000kbps at 100%/100% fast enough to play FLACs?

Guess I will have to install the 6.2.2 next to get the NetTest plugin
and try to understand the connection quality more...

As usual, any other thoughts appreciated!
