Your problem sounds similar to mine. I don't know what is causing your
problem, but maybe if you look at my problem that will give you some
clues.

I have a WRT54GS router too. Before that I had the WR*K*54G (That's NOT
the same as the WR*T*54G), which was terrible. The WRK54G was a piece of
crap. The WRT54GS seems to be better. After quite a while of very
irritating playback problems, I just figured out that the problem goes
away if I'm wired by ethernet cable to the router.

My squeezebox and an external drive (with mp3s) are both attached to
the wireless router. Ideally, I want to have the wireless connection
from ly laptop to the router. The laptop (W2K) running slimserver has a
WPC54GS Notebook adapter also from Linksys. The problem was present over
a range of slimserver updates.

I described my problem in a lot of detail here:

My problem files always display correct ID info on the squeezebox too.
But the problem is very consistent: it plays the first 10 seconds, then
jumps to the next song. The problem always effects a whole album, every
time I have checked. I'm curious if your problem affects whole albums.
Actually, rereading your original post, I think you could be having my
problem plus an additional problem. For me, I think this issue is my
last problem with the squeezebox before I can say I'm in musical
nirvana. I've been tinkering for months to get it to work, and most of
the time battleing multiple problems that have bizarre properties as I
upgrade the components and the configuration of my home network. I was
surprised that a problem like mine seemed to be resolved by connecting
by ethernet to the router. So I've only just realized that it's a
wireless problem. I don't have any ideas yet. In my case, it doesn't
make sense that only whole albums would skip. I can't find any rhyme or
reason to the albums that are affected. Often, it's about 1/2 of an
artists ablums, so it's really annoying.

So some questions for you:
Does the problem go away if your computer is wired to your router?
When you have a track that won't play, have you ever observed the whole
album to have the same problem?
