Hi Posting this here as I didn't see a related post.
I am seeing very poor wifi performance on my RPi2. I get skipping and stuttering for anything greater than 320kbps MP3.
I Have a 300mbps wireless N USB wifi dongle from Monoprice
http://amzn.com/B0069MGRG4I have a netgear wndr4500 (2.4Ghz @450mbps and 5ghz at 450mbps).
The data requirements for my 24/192 flac files are ~ 5mbps (according to some internet math and the data rate displayed on my bubbleupnp when playing via wired connection)
I placed the rpi2 2 feet away from the wifi router to test it. Confirmed via the netgenie networking tool that I have a physical link rate of 100mbps. And still get only about 300-400kbps throughput. I've doubled the buffer size and increased the buffer fill rate to 30%. The link rate should be well sufficient to support the 5mbps real rate required. Any idea where the problem lies?
Any other options to try and improve the throughput on the device?
I read this article on jRiver and computer audiophile and wondered if there are some changes required in the rune audio code that can help address this.

As a test I took my old Airport express (2008 wireless N) and set it up as a wireless client and used it as the wifi access point and then plugged in my Pi2 via ethernet (10/100). It ran like a champ all the way up to 24/192 FLAC with no issues. Also accessing the device through the web interface was much more performant. So I know it's not my wifi bandwidth.
So any chance someone could look at improving the streaming performance via wifi USB? Please let me know what additional information you'd like me to log and provide.
