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.

Ofter streaming audio will 'click out' for a fraction of a second. While I am not sure the reason for this I think it has something to do with the fact that the content will vary, especially around commercial-time. They have a bit of techical difficulty when they adjust for streaming audio.

If this happens during songs this would not be the problem.
