How has your (OP) hunt for a solution come. Have you tried connecting

I understand your frustration with people immediately blaming something
else. However this is a complex system and many things can cause it

I have done everything I can think of to get my SB working so that it

Why is transcoding needed when I use native format for the SB3?
You never said what you were using - so all we can do is guess what may

lossy version, if you are using WMA lossless then transcoding is
needed.

Actually, before we go any further you need to eliminate the wi-fi
completely from being the problem. Bear in mind that wi-fi is about as
flaky as technology gets right now!
Can you wire the SB directly to the server and see if it works fine -
just as a test. If this works then the wi-fi (or

You can set a fixed IP address and if it outside the range of your DHCP
server, then it will not affect the other wireless devices.
Personally, I think you should try the wired SB test first to isolate
the problem to wifi or not. All you need to do is carry SB3 to the
router, wire it in and use

Absolutely.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about DHCP reservations.
Go into your W45 with your browser - just put the address of the W in
your browser address bar. It's -probably- 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.
