After doing the test with a 30m Ethernet cable, you might find that you still have the dropout problem., If so, the solution would be to buy a switch instead of buying a wireless bridge.

Thanks again Simon. Cable ordered. (£3.40). I'm going away for a few days. I will report back in a week or so.

I've not forgotten about this matter. I am back from Vienna and I now have the long cable. The issue is, however, that I have not been able to replicate the problem of "stuttering" tracks [see post #9]. I moved a number of components around when integrating some different gear into the system (see different thread). Since then my Homeplugs have shown either green or yellow and the Sonos has worked without any error.

I've only been back home for a few days, so the problem may yet recur. In the meantime, do you suggest that I continue with the Homeplugs? I assume that so long as the Homeplugs are working, then connecting using the long cable would tell us very little, if anything.
