Hey,
I currently have my computer in the basement. My router (linksys 802.11b wifi) and cable modem is upstairs. Basically it is seperated by 2 floors.
I want to stream ALAC through iTunes to my laptop (since it is hooked up to my mid/hi-fi system) to play in my room. However, recently it's been having a little bit of issues. Always buffering. Really annoying
I don't think it's the bandwidth issue, cos 802.11B should be able to stream a 40MB 6minute song. (that's only 111kb/s).
It's probably a signal strength issue, as it is always "low" on my desktop in the basement.
Should I "upgrade" to wifi-G? Are there ways to improve signal strength? I don't see any way to move the computer closer to the router.
