Thanks for that!! Next time I get poor performance I'll do this on the
laptop and see if it points to anything!

The only problem is I suspect it'll show nothing and I'll still be left
wondering if the router or SB (or something else) is to blame.


I have another plan/option as well - A friend of mine has a Netgear
DG8834G router. I could swap our routers over and live with theres for
a few weeks. If I get no problems that would sure imply it's my router.
The only problem is, if I do still get spuradic problems that means it
could be the SB or indeed something else affecting my network :/

At least that could help!?



By the way, on a test at the moment I'm getting this on the SB. Do
these figures look normal/abnormal to you? (Especially that signal
strength one?):-

And then this test as well while playing a FLAC:-



Home / Server & Network Health / Player Statistics

The server is currently collecting performance statistics for this
player.

You may set warning thresholds for each measurement. This will record
in the server log whenever the threshold is exceeded. The most recent
log entries can be viewed here.
Signal Strength
This graph shows the strength of the wireless signal received by your
player. Higher signal strength is better. The player reports signal
strength while it is playing.

avg : 73.795775

Warning Thresholds : Low High
Buffer Fullness
This graph shows the fill of the player's buffer. Higher buffer
fullness is better. Note the buffer is only filled while the player is
playing tracks.

Squeezebox1 uses a small buffer and it is expected to stay full while
playing. If this value drops to 0 it will result in audio dropouts.
This is likely to be due to network problems.

Squeezebox2/3 uses a large buffer. This drains to 0 at the end of each
track and then refills for the next track. You should only be concerned
if the buffer fill is not high for the majority of the time a track is
playing.

Playing remote streams can lead to low buffer fill as the player needs
to wait for data from the remote server. This is not a cause for
concern.

Control Connection
This graph shows the number of messages queued up to send to the player
over the control connection. A measurement is taken every time a new
message is sent to the player. Values above 1-2 indicate potential
network congestion or that the player has become disconnected.
