Thank you for your reply aubuti. I only use mysqueezebox.com. I downloaded a wifi tool as suggested. My levels are in the ow 40's. I tried changing the various other channels on the wireless router but that was about as good as I could get. It's weird because the squeezebox is only about 25' from the router.
I cannot test a wired connection because the stereo is too far from the modem and router. aubuti wrote: > Some more info would be helpful. Are you listening to a local LMS or > mysqueezebox.com?
