I have a wired only SB2 and the mini-PCI slot has not been soldered to
the processor board so would be unable to upgrade. I'd always open the
thing up to check before buying a card.

I too had no idea there was a wired one till i tried to connect

You could consider the use of an access point that support the client
mode.
Example: EDIMAX EW-7416APn
Probably it will not work out of the box, but you could configure it
with a windows pc (and squeezeplay on top).

hardflipman - you can run two separate network connections over a single
piece of CAT5/6. Only two pairs are used for twisted pair ethernet, and
there are four pairs in CAT5/6.
There are simple dongles that convert one-to-two (you'd need one for
each end, or you can do it with a pair of punch
Are you sure you can upgrade the SB3 to wireless?
I have a wired only SB3 in searching on this forum I was lead to
believe by a fairly convincing post that the SB2 wired only units had
the mini-pci slot, but the SB3's did not.

I don't think they made an SB3 without a wireless card in it.
You sure it's an SB3? Not an SB1 or SB2 or other?
Have you tried resetting it and
I saw it on an auction site, about two years ago.

SB3s used to be sold in wired or wired wireless versions. I have one
of each.

The hardware should be there (mini-PCI slot) and the firmware should
support it as there is only one version of the firmware.
The tricky part will be finding the exact wireless card. You have to
find the exact one, and IIRC it's an Asian OEM that only sells to
corporations. The model number

It would probably be easier and even cheaper to wire it to a wireless

I expect Mark's right about this. Another alternative would be to bring
the wire to where you're using the SB3. If you don't want to pull
ethernet cable to that location, you could look
