Hello Everyone,

Here's the setup I got:

Intel Mac Mini
51 inch Sony HDTV Projection TV
Sony Dream System Stereo
Cable Box - Scientific America I think
Apple Extreme Base Station

Here's my problem:

My router and mac mini are on the same floor and are about 25 yards apart, yet I get a crappy wireless signal. Anytime I want to stream music from my iMac upstairs which gets a good signal, the music pauses every 5 seconds to rebuffer itself.

Question is:

Are the components in the HT setup I have interfering with my connection?
If so, how do I improve the signal?

I'm going to have to figure this out soon as I want to get the Western Digital Network Drive to store most of my media.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
I am part of Lakers Nation and love to buy Used Golf Clubs
