I eventually gave up with my Duet, and swapped it for an SB3 and some
small active speakers. Main system is Transporter -> ATC SCM 100

Having had serious problems with streaming to my Transporter, I FINALLY
found a solution which may help others:-

- replaced Netgear Router ( 8 months old, but suspected it was faulty)
- added a Hawking Range extender plus high gain directional antenna
( these are sited next to ther PC and router)

The TP is located 25m from the router, and on a different ring main, so
unfortunately, mains networking is not an option.

Signal strength is now 70%,( up from 20%) but as I have discovered,
this is NOT the most important thing. With the range extender sited
nearer the TP signal strength was 100%, but the stuttering and dropouts
were very bad.

The server and network health test ( help section on Squeezecenter)
finally enabled me to work out the best location for the range extender
and high gain (12dB)directional antenna. This took me a couple of days!

I can now stream at 2000kbps with 100% success. All files are Apple
lossless.

I will have to live without the fancy Duet remote, but I believe this
product is fundamentally flawed, as it appears to offer very poor
reception compared with TP, probably as it does not have external
aerials.

Hope this is of some help!
