More info: 1. I'm not attempting sync of players at all. 2. This AM when NPR was rebuffering frequently on the Boom in my office downstairs from the router, I switched to using Squeezeplay on my desktop computer which is wired by ethernet cable to my network: no rebuffering whatsoever. I'll try the Wi-Fi sleuthing software later today and report back.
