Pandora drops out

I am new to PC music and love it so far. I have a Dell laptop, at least one generation old but it works fine as a PC. I'm using Sprint wireless broadband into an external [AC-powered] USB dac and then into the preamp. A few times per tune it will stop playing and then start, all in the space of less than a second. It is annoying, to say the least. I checked Pandora's FAQ, did a network speed test that seemed to meet the minimum required speed, I forget the exact value but it was higher then 500 mps, if I have that right. I am not running any other applications per Pandora. Any tips on how to keep the flow going? Thanks in advance.

Arthur,

I think Tripper is referring to a Broadband Sprint Card (aircard, wireless modem), not a wireless NIC (Network Interface Controller) Card. If so, he is connected to the internet as if through a cell phone and modem, not as a node on a wireless network.
