Thanks all for the replies. I have changed to FLAC but not sure if it's helped. The TX rate has dropped to 2Mb some times, and has been 0 before too. I wasn't sure if that was SqueezeCenter not pumping out the tracks or if that was just bad network. Anyways, it seems like I either need a new

Hi all, thanks for your repies. My PC is wired to my router. I'm streaming .WAVs I have checked with NetStumbler and there is only 1 other network around and it's not on same channel as mine - plus I have already tried 3 or 4 other channels. Just seems so strange that things were better on SB3.

Have you checked the TX rate as well as signal strength? My SB3 started doing this on FLAC files (worked fine on MP3s) with the signal strength between 80-86%. Turned out it was the server's wireless connection to the router which was flaky - the server being a Mac Mini which has always had a

Hi All, How comes my Duet Receiver breaks up even with signal strength at 80-85% ? It happens on both my SB3 and Duet Receiver. I've tried changing wifi channels, switching off wifi encryption, moving router, twiddling router aerial, disabling anti-virus etc etcie many hours wasted. What I

Change orientation of SBR - from horizontal to vertical. The SB3 antenna is more vertical than SBR. However breaksups are more likely due to interference. -- bpa bpa's Profile:

I would suggest changing wireless channels and/or checking to see if you are getting any interference from neighboring networks (e.g., if you have a laptop try downloading netstumbler and see what it says). -- lanierb

I finally gave up on the wireless altogether and dropped $50 on a couple of Homeplugs - easier than running Cat5 everywhere, and solved all my SBR connectivity problems -- stubill stubill's Profile:
