Dear All, Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else out. I recently added a second SB3 and have since had intermittent wireless stuttering & drop outs when listening to both synchronised. I installed the latest Slimserver and f/w which helped a bit but it was never perfect. The network test plugin would show streaming maxed out at 500 - 1500 kbps, i.e. the highest data rate I could achieve 100% at, depending on conditions / random effects.
On a whim, I decided to try a new wireless router. Swapped out my old Microsoft MN-720 (which worked perfectly for wireless PC usage) with a D-Link 624 for $50 from Costco. Wireless is immediately perfect. Can hit 5000 kbps at 100% on both SB-3's simultaneously. I'm now in wireless, streaming heaven, all for $50 ... just wish I'd done so sooner. Now I wish I'd ripped all my CD's to Flac instead of AAC, although AAC sounds pretty darn good at 192kbps ...
