Hi, I have just started trying to use FLAC files as I think this is the
best option for ripping my CD collection at Hi Fi quality. However I
have hit a problem. To be fair I think the problem is with my wireless
router (a Belkin F5D6230-3), not my SB3, but I thought that everyone on
this forum is so helpful this would be a good starting point!

Basically, when I play MP3s, the system works fine, have played for a
3+ hours with no problem.

However, now I started using FLACs, after about half an hour or so of
playing, the connection to the SB3 is dropped as my router fails (the
router totally hangs - the internet connection fails too). A simple
power cycle of the router gets everything up and running again, but
obviously this is a major pain!

I am guessing this is something to do with the large FLAC file size,
and that once the router has streamed over a certain amount of data it
is failing - that would explain why MP3s will play for a long time but
FLACs always hang the network quite soon.

I have looked at a few forums and tried changing the wireless network
channel - it was originally on ch11, I have now tried ch1 and ch6 as I
understand these are "non-overlapping" (or something similar!) and the
best to try, but this has not made any difference. 

For information I am using 64 bit WEP encryption.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and suggestions
as to what I should try next? 

Maybe this is a better question for a wireless networking forum - can
anyone point me at a good one?

Thanks in advance for any help with this!!
