Another question: what format is the music in - does it have to be
transcoded on the server? Is it possible that the server is

Hi,
Have you tried to switch off encryption and all vendor specific
connection speed up methods (Super G, Turbo, etc)? I think encryption
slows down connection speed with poor signal strength, so that may
cause some problems.

one of the strong points of SB2 was WPA security... I would not remove
