I still have no idea what really went wrong. Maybe the router was
generating a load of junk; maybe something else was. Clearly, Signal
Strength does not equal or even necessarily correlate with Actually
Useful Information Bandwidth. I probably need some better diagnostic
tools. Next time, turning the router off and on again will be the FIRST
thing I try. And if that doesn't work, then I *will* smash the little
fecker off the wall. I don't buy these things just to waste my days
trying to get them to work!
It's probably a whole different story, but some weeks ago (after years
of trouble free wifi-ing), my SB3 started to hiccup. My laptop became
pretty slow too, so, even though the wifi bars in the docking area
showed full strength I checked the speed. It had switched to 2 Mbit for
no apparent reason. My slimserver is on a wired server, so it seemed
obvious the problem was in the (Asus) access point. I power cycled that
and all was well again.
I don't lose much sleep over things that occur so rarely. AFAIC the WAP
just had a moment of weakness after years of reliable service. I find
the SB3's wifi pretty good. I even used it to replace my webcam's
marginal wifi connection (by turning the SB into a bridge) which helped
quite a bit.
Regards,
Peter
