Either way data shouldn't be lost regularly on a network.
If I understand this correctly, this sounds like it's pointing at my router or possibly a problem with the built in ethernet on the mother board. What confuses me is my Touch which is hard wired works perfectly but the receiver when hard wired still skips. That doesn't make sense to me. Thank you for the excellent explanation. Any further thoughts that might point me in the right direction? Thank you again for your help!
