Hello again :D I had the same experience years ago with my Transporter. After many years of faultless operation it suddenly got the dreaded stuttering. After many painful months, I setup a laptop to monitor the nearby wireless networks and discovered, like you, everyone was using the some default channel. So I picked a channel with the maximum separation from the others and the problem went away. It been near perfect ever since. My microwave oven still causes interruptions to the Transporter and piCorePlayer. Years later, I had a bit of an interest in wireless/routers/modems so I have quite a few on hand. When testing the wireless software of piCorePlayer I setup 4 or 5 wireless routers within a meter or two of the test piCorePlayer. To my surprise, no problems whatsoever. So now I am not so sure about my original conclusion. :confused: regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
