Although I've had numerious problems since getting my SB they were entirely due to either Windoze's view of how to manage my wireless network or my decision to build a new uber PC to run house my music collection.
I now have a wireless setup which seems 100% reliable when streaming Apple Lossless files diagonally from front room downstairs to back room upstairs in a brick built Victorian house. I can use the network for other 'stuff' at the same time without issues and always seem to have 97-100% signal strength. The wireless bits I use are Belkin F5D7231UK4 router and a Belkin F5D7000UK PCI adapter card. For me the key to getting this working (hopefully) perfectly has been: 1. Use the Belkin software to manage the network. DO NOT USE WINDOWS! 2. Change the router channel away from the default channel (which is 11 in the UK) to avoid other network interferance. I use channel 6. 3. As suggested by someone on this forum, diable the 'Microsoft Wireless Zero Configuration Service' in XP so that it doesn't try to 'help' and conflict with the Belkin utility. Since I did the above, the network has been rock solid, doesn't drop the connection and connects up far faster when I turn the PC on. -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23134 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
