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.
