Streaming MP3 over wireless crazy buffering

Ok, while living in Japan a couple of years ago, I was streaming Mp3s over my decent Core duo laptop and wired network using Tversity (Day1 happy user at the time). No problems with FF or buffer between tracks at all
My attempts to achieve the same over wireless failed miserably despite all the possible tweaking of Tversity settings

1year ago, moved to China in a huge apartmentwhere I had no other choice than using Wireless to streamor the japanese will have killed me by the look of a 10m ethernet cable only

Problems started with video rendering and this awful stuttering so I switched beginning this Year to PSMS which fixed the aforementionned issue so Video rendering was no more an issue indeed

Now on the Audio streaming front, despite all my attempts, it has proven impossible to playback a MP3 playlist without 10s buffering between tracks or while shuffling

I have read so many other people having the same problem that I dont get why Video playback can be achieved decently over wireless but not the MP3 one

I get between 75-80%signal on the PS3, my laptop is a Core Duo 2years old laptop wireless g so not bad set-up me thinks

I got my music stored also on an external HDD but as SONY cant get their fingers out to get playlist creation/playback from tracks not stored on the internal HDD,I am stuck as we speak

any views with PSMS tweaking or wireless network adjustment appreciated

I suspect that the definite answer is, forget Wireless for MP3 streaming unlesss you have Formula one Laptop and Wifi set-up

Re: Streaming MP3 over wireless crazy buffering

Is there not a local chinese version of Ethernet over power adapters (homeplugs in the UK)

Many find these the solution to beating wi-fi latency without laying cables.....

Re: Streaming MP3 over wireless crazy buffering

Have you checked the MTU values on your router, PS3 and Streamer (i.e. Laptop) all contain matching values?

Re: Streaming MP3 over wireless crazy buffering

I could try the chinese Homeplugs but I would like to avoid invests as I will be leaving China next year and go back to Japan, with the incompability of plugs standard, they would be waste of money

as per MTU values, that is a territoty I am not familiar with.I may have a detailed look at how it works when I have the time

thanks
