Pre-n and MIMO are pretty good though. You would probably get higher
throughput and longer range than with a standard g router.

I'd suggest you try switching your players, put the SB3 where the SB2
was, and the SB2 where the SB3 was. What I'm getting at is I believe it
might be a networking issue at the location. Or it's possible theres an
issue with the player, this should point us in the right direction.

If the power supply is OK, try a hard reset.
You'll need your WEP or WPA keys to set up again after the reset.
Reset by disconnecting power, press and hold add/+ on the remote, and
reapply power to the SB3.

jvc_dvd is the IR codes for a JVC DVD player. This lets you take a
