Squeezebox dropouts - another question

There have been many threads on this and I have tried to read them all, but I still have not solved the problem. I just bought a fancy-dancy dual band (2.4 and 5 Ghz) wireless Netgear router (N900, E4500). I use this to stream music to a Logitech Squeezebox Touch. I still get dropouts when streaming 96kHz files. The router is 20' line of site to the SBT. The SBT says signal strength is 100%. If I connect the SBT to the router with an Ethernet cable, everything is fine, no dropouts. I would prefer to go wireless for convenience and noise isolation. Any other suggestions? I have not been able to figure out how to change buffer size settings on the SBT or the router. Are there other settings I can try? Any help is appreciated.

Unless I'm mistaken, the SBT only does "G." It won't do "N." You also have to consider that much of that bandwidth is being eaten up by security packaging.

I've found that running hi res works best if you use a wired connection.

I really don't think it's your computer. I mean, yes, there can't be any hiccups in the computer's running the SB server, but it doesn't take a whole lot of horsepower to do that.

I'm running SB Server on a Synology NAS and it only has a 1 ghz processor with 256mb of ram.
