I would be inclined to move the player near the router and connect it via an ethernet cable. If you still experience the problem then you can be pretty sure it's not network related. If you don't then I would hook up via wifi at that distance. After this 15 minute experiment you'll at least know a lot more than you do now. --Tom -- Tom Hutcheson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Hutcheson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35487 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87280 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
