Apparently, all radios are not created equal: 1. Belkin N-Mimo (F5D8233-4v3; 3.01.29 Aug. 15, 2008) (set for N/G only) 2. Linksys 2.4G (WRT54G V6l 1.02.5 build 2, Jan. 9, 2008) (set for G only) Both configured identically in security, channel, etc. Both are supposed to be the newest firmware. Tested in exactly the same location attached with the same Cat 5e cable. Three SB's: belkin linksys 1. boom 56 68 2. receiver 76 89 3. sb3 80 84 With a thin interior door closed, the sb3 was reading 65% from the belkin and was re-buffering about every 15 seconds. This has never been an issue with the linksys. I was hoping for improved signal but it's not going to happen. (I'm getting a little over 30% about 120 feet and one wall away at the dock with the linksys and I was hoping to improve that so I could up the LAME rate when I use the boom there..) Luckily the belkin can find a new home fairly easily.
