The ad-hoc connection doesn't use as much wireless power so the range is reduced.
I understand about you wanting to use wireless the reason for checking wired was just to prove that it could connect. I take it that it would be normal for your router to show the IP address address of wirelessly connected devices. So it does suggest to me that although the receiver is attached to the router it hasn't been allowed access. > I don't recall if the receiver changes it's light colour if it fails > authentication but I don't think so.

I originally said the above but I > recall that you said the controller is connected OK so as it passes on the setup to the receiver the key will be correct. (I left it in for reference in case it is useful to anyone else.) The receiver should be as capable of wireless as the SB3 but the orientation of the aerials is slightly different because it lies down rather than being on it's edge. You could try to see if the signal strength is the problem by moving it next to the router temporarily. It may also be worth temporarily disabling security on the router and checking that. I can't really see why it would make a difference but I've seen dafter things work before. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45196 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
