Good question. As I mentioned in my long intro, I was experiencing a lot of dropouts using Wifi.

In my case, my small ~1000 sq ft townhome is a veritable Wifi "black hole"...it just sucks Wifi into "the ether". I can literally look from the living room straight down the hall into the bedroom and see the router on my desk. Yet still, my Wifi connectivity is poor, even using a TOTL TP-Link Wifi Extender with respect to streaming audio data and also streaming on-demand content from DirecTV. Also, the Wifi router that extends the Wifi network that the Ethernet cable plugs into also produces noise.
