>From my experience the RangeMax routers work very well indeed and do
offer considerably improved wireless range, BUT only when used in
conjunction with a corresponding RangeMax wireless adapter.

Thanks all for your very helpful responses. I will try a few things and
report back!

I second the use of homeplugs. I had connectivity issues, dropouts, etc.
However, since I've gotten homeplugs I've had no issues. You need one
for the router and one for each Squeezebox. I only get 20-40mbs on an
85mbs homeplug but streaming quality is fine.
I got 3 of these:

For router with the dipole antenna (straight) - the signal strength is
doughnut shaped with a hole in the middle ( see

If your SB is immediately above the router then you are probably in one
of the worse spots for reception. Try angl
Try using homeplugs (or powerline adapters).
Plug one into a power socket, connect to your router via ethernet
cable. You can then go anywhere in your house and put in another
homeplug into any power socket, stick an ethernet lead in it and you
have a network going through your electricity cablin
Are both devices wireless?
Wiring at least one of them to the router is the first thing you should
do when experiencing wireless bandwidth issues. It's usually easiest to
wire the server, particularly with the Qnap because it doesn't have to
be anywhere - you don't need constant physical access
If it is convenient for the location, you might want to play with just a
aluminium foil around the squeezebox.
One of my sb3's had a hard time reliably streaming flac and simply
placing sheet of aluminium foil behind it to reflect signals towards
the access point increased the signal strength 2

I built the EZ-12 out of aluminum cooking foil and a cornflake packet
and it worked well.

Unless the RangeMax router has higher power output, more sensitive
antennas, or directional antennas, it's unlikely to be of much help.
I've seen modest improvements by increasing the router tx power (using
DD-WRT) and installing high-gain antennas on my AP. I have not bothered
trying parabolic re
I had trialled my SB3/QNAP TS-101 setup in my main system in the living
room where it works just fine (excepting the odd drop out) with all
files including 48kHz FLAC files. However, this was just a precursor
to it residing in it's 'final' home - my study upstairs where it would
