I was originally running both my Transporter and SB3 wireless. The TP
is 4-feet away from my AP (Apple AirPort) and has 100% signal. I had
setup its AUDIO prefs as NO LIMIT. The SB3 had a signal strength of
about 70%, but would continually stutter and skip until I set it to a
limit of 320k.

Yes I also think my issues are noise or RFI related especially since it
occurs much more often with longer CAT5 cables (the cables are ok BTW).
I don't have any fluorescent lights but there may be some other items in

yes, 'performance' is hard to measure. It is made up of latency which
is the time from when the first bit is sent into the network until it
pops out the other side PLUS bandwidth which is the number of bits per
unit time that come through after that first bit. Both PowerLine

I'm using the XE-102 homeplug units from Netgear, and have not had any
problems. Performance on the 2 homeplug links is exactly the same as
on my 3 cat-5 linked SBs.
I'm getting 12.61 Mb/s on one link, 13.59 Mb/s on the other.

Jeff,
Typically the issue with high latency is that the music drops out
periodically - i.e. the connections are still there, but the new data
does not get there in time.

Thanks again chaps.
This has been very useful. I will buy the wireless SB since it offers
me more flexibility in the future.
Happy listening

I had similar problems to Pat when playing wavs over 11b - dropouts. But
if my antennas were within line of sight, no problems. The buffer inside
SB can hold almost 2 minutes of wav, so hearing dropouts means a REALLY

Another thing to consider, though, is what you might do with
A wired connection is always going to be more reliable and more secure.
One thing to consider - the wired-only SB3 is $50 cheaper. You could
take that savings and pay somebody to run a dedicated cat-5 cable to
another room. Or do it yourself and pocket the savings.
There's also the possibility
For what it's worth, I am having no trouble streaming FLAC via a B wireless
with around 70-80% signal strength.

802.11b is a "half-duplex" protocol meaning it can send OR receive at a

Given that you have sufficient coverage and haven't flooded you network
with other traffic, the bits will get across intact. And since the SB
uses TCP to communicate with the SS it can even handle modest packet
drops (which will happen on a wireless network).
However, the wireless transmitter ins
