can a squeezebox v3 utilize the signal from a modern "N" router? or must it be a "G" router?

I believe it should work with most any router , i've never had a problem with mine and i have had a few different models of wireless modems. what i like about it is you can use the App for it and operate it from anywhere..:)

Yes and no. The player itself is only G capable. But any N router should be backwards compatible with G devices.A dual band N router can work with both G and N devices simultaneously without harming N speeds.

No, it isn't currently supported. It is listed as "Work In Progress" so there is chance that it will work in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can use the following links to check other routers that are supported http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database & http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

I'm also interested in the answer to this question. I bought one, but haven't opened it yet. I planned to use it in my A/V system to feed a TIVO XL (also on order), and figured I'd use a four-port switch to feed the TIVO, a PS3, an XBOX360, and Roku SoundBridge which are all in the same cabinet -- none of those come with Wireless N, and I figured I'd take care of all of them. But if a switch won't work, I'll return this and get the D-Link access point that can be configured as a bridge.

Mike, while I am using just two boxes, there is provision in the manual for adding more devices. Section 4.2.2 describes the steps. Also, a graphic shows two devices using the same feed from the router. The manual was not written by a person who writes English as their first language, so a few items are not clear. As to the signal being degraded, if one was downloading video and the same time they were talking on Skype, there might be a problem. That is strictly a guess on my part because I have not tried it.

After a few months of perfect service my Squeezebox is suddenly losing its WiFi connection. Nothing else in the house is having that problem, so I assume it's this device. I've connected it via Ethernet cable, will see if this works better. I have the latest update, will keep an eye on this discussion for hints or fixes. Thanks for posting your experiences!

As an ether bridge yes, as a root or child AP probably not with n band (yes with b/g). What's the application? The bridge simply acts as a layer 2 bridge (switchport to switchport if you will, a line of sight ethernet cable). It operates in the g freq band but that is independent of your n band router as I'm assuming your n band is for appliances and access (computer/peripheral) access. I used this bridge with an n band router simply to extend service (internet) to another building and its been working well since install.

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

There is discussion at: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=170851&view=next&sid=970164f48f9bce92f137fccdfb92dcf7 https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_JNR3210 The answer would seem to be "NO".

No you don't. Very strong 3G signal though. The 4G router costs about double what this one is. This is a great investment and I have no regrets with this one.

One of two things, either you will have a stronger signal reception or they are for individual bands like a/b/g/n and the new one think it was ac or something with 2 letters i know some routers broadcast over multiple bands at the same time so it should use whichever is strongest and readily available

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

The antenna connections are the smaller type, I think they are called Reverse SMA or something like that but you can get adapter pigtail cables that will let you connect an N type connector to this router. Just make sure you keep your antenna cable as short as possible because there can be a lot of signal strength lost in the antenna cable itself.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

If your device speaks 802.11g or n, this guy will work. I have one hooked to my Verizon supplied G router and we get much better though-put and signal strength with our wireless NIC cards using N.

If you have a wireless G adapter, you will get no improvement from purchasing this router. You will need to upgrade both your adapter and your router to wireless N.

I'm using dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_big It's Eko's Big build for this router. Works like a champ!

The answer given by jj77 should be all you need to answer your question. It's a wonderful addition to any system. I have my Vortex Box hooked to my router, wifi to my Squeeze Box, coaxialed to a Tascam CDRW901SL Professional CD Recorder.
