Tell me about your setup more. What type of Mac, how far is the Mac from the 8500, what sharing protocol are you using are using native iTunes support or the pro share option. If you’re on your Mac connected can you select the WiFi extended options by selecting WiFi while holding down option and tell me what your TX rate, channel and noise / signal DB readings are?
Here’s another test, could you attach the Mac to a wired port and do a comparable test to see whether the problem is WiFi related or something further up the stack? Thanks and BTW I have the exact setup. I use an 8500 running native Netgear software (1.2.0.94 I believe) and I’m using directly attached network storage instead of the built in USB option so there’s a little difference. Be glad to help though if I can.
