I had similar problems - varying signal strength, dropouts and
stuttering etc. I fixed the problem by installing a Netgear WGXB102
range extender kit and I now have good signal strength (on my duet
controller) everywhere in the house.

There have been a lot of good suggestions offered to help you, and it
almost seems like you may have been dismissive of some of them. It is
often a little thing here or there that makes all the difference.

Good advice from Themis, I would follow that.
But first (because it will cost nothing and take very little time) :
I would put SC and some music onto a laptop, take that to your SBR, and
connect with ethernet. Just to be sure that the problem is not a

Thanks for that advice. I was considering running an extension cord from
a free outlet in the room over to the router (the power strip I would
use right there is full of other devices). Downstairs I have the same
situation for the SBR. So, I guess I'll buy two extension cords too!

Can anyone think of a way to narrow down the source of my problem?
A few minutes ago, the music was playing fine. I checked the wireless

Now, it's stuttering, so I checked to see if the signal strength went

Under Extras there is something called Network test that might help
you.
Easiest way to determine if it is a wireless issue is to temporarily
connect via Ethernet cable and then test for the problems.
Sometimes moving the router just a small amount can make a big
difference in signal strength
Thanks for the reply, Sue. What's weird is that the wireless strength
and network tests change around without any seeming cause (not when I'm
using a phone or the microwave, for example). The wireless strength
rating always seems high (the lowest has been 30), so I don't think

I've got a similar problem - one hour it's fine, the next one it's not.
When it stops, sometimes 'prompting' the player with the controller

Sorry you're having trouble too!
I wish I knew how to narrow down the problem. If I knew a solution, I'd
be willing to pay good money for it at this point.

Regarding the possibility of replacing your router - you could purchase
one and try it out. Make sure you have time to try it out before the
