music drop out--new router

In my case Microwave Oven was operating on one of the frequencies. I changed the channel and it helped. Eventually I got 5GHz router (since my Airport Express receives both 2.4/5GHz)and set it to 5GHz. Now it is perfect. 5GHz is not very popular, not used in cellular phones or microwaves, and has advantage of penetrating walls poorly. It is big advantage for me, at least, since everything is within one room while disturbing sources at 5GHz are behind the walls (if any).

I'm lucky, I have an ethernet jack right behind my system. I use a physical cable for my AirporExpress. However, when I was using wifi I never had any drop outs. Since you only exprerienced this after changing the router, that must be the culprit.

If you were not having trouble before you replaced the router, you probably have another device competing with the signal - so try changing the channel as recommended. You can go into the "settings" menu of the squeezebox and see what your wireless signal strength is. If it's below 50% you could have a problem on high-rez files.

thanks
