It sounds like a streaming issue, which comes into play with the wireless.
Yes, the choppiness is usually only experienced when streaming with the
wireless side of the router. Otherwise, it will work fine.

I can connect to the internet with no problem and surf all day. I can also
access the drive with no issues. It seems to be when I play audio files, and
use Winamp for videos on my hard drive. My router is through our phone
company and I don't know if they have a faster router.
