Thanks for the pointer, Mark; this does sound rather similar to my experiences! Will have to persuade the SWMBO about 'casting the SSID. I'd like to switch to WPA rather than WEP, but that would mean I couldn't use my iPaq as a remote any more (useful when SWMBO is hogging the laptop) :-(. > If any of that is metal, it's blocking the signal. I pulled the router about 12 inches forward just to see what would happen - and the signal strength went up about 10%. It *was* sitting next to my slide scanner, which just happens to have a big metal case. The new location isn't ideal (it's usually workspace), but it'll do for now. When not using the SB3 tonight, I've had it on Network Test, 2000kbps, and it was averaging 99%. I've not been playing flacs tonight yet (wanted to listen to something in particular, amazingly), but it's been doing fine. Now, last time I said it looked like the problem(s) were cracked, I was proved wrong; so I'm not going to say it this time! :-) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
