After pressing buttons on top of Play 3, the unit would just not link up to the bridge.
After trying many times, and trying all the things suggested in troubleshooting, I turned off my AV sender, (that is normally on all the time to let me view pay TV in the next room), and all of a sudden, everything connects quickly and easily.
The AV sender is transmitting on the 2.4Ghz band, like a lot of wireless devices (cordless phones, security cameras etc) so for those having trouble, try switching off other wireless devices and you may find the culprit.
