The router & firewall would either connect or not connect... So it's nothing to do with MAC address or firewalls etc Have you connected the SB3 via a network lead to the router, instead of wirelessly? See if that resolves the issue or not. Also, at the time of using your SB3 are you doing anything on the server/PC? Try not to during testing!
