The long hangs could be a read speed issue on the computer's hard drive.

SATA 3.0 all throughout.
Could memory on the HTPC be an issue? It's at 2 gigs. Quad core AMD running at 3 GHZ. FWIW, transfer from wireless laptop to wired desktop works fine and the WMP list loads with no hanging on scrolling either. It's only the HTPC, which is odd, because it has the newest hardware. Wireless signal strength from the bridge, perhaps?

It took me almost six minutes to transfer a 555 meg file to the HTPC. Did it in about 90 seconds on the laptop

HTPC memory could be an issue, but you should be okay at 2 gigs. You might benefit by going to 4. That processor is overkill, so it's not that. |

EDIT: How long does it take to copy FROM the HTPC to another source? |

sounds like the link between the wireless ap and the bridge is an issue
what's the distance? use inssider to look at signal strengths at each location i would personally like mine to be at -40dbm or better could be a combination of things, like the spin down that Silock referred to. does it only lag when you haven't accessed the list in a while, then it acts normal after that? |

Good question. I'm copying the same file back as we speak. It's working significantly faster. About the same speed as transfer from the desktop to the laptop. The only issue seems to be network transfer to the HTPC. I have a 360 connected to the bridge as well, and WMC has always been glacial, but I've heard of so many people having issues with it that I don't know if I can blame the bridge.

Bridge is a DLink DAP 1522
Router is a Linksys N300

I'd be interested in seeing what a packet capture looks like. The quickest way to isolate the bridge and eliminate the HTPC as the cause it to plug the HTPC into the ethernet switch and bypass wireless altogether. Peg that sucker and see what you get. |

This is where I curse myself for getting rid of my hundreds of feet of ethernet cable.

The other option that might help implicate (or exonerate) the bridge is to take your laptop, which you have already proven works fine with wireless and plug it into the bridge. If the laptop performs similarly wired up to the bridge as it does wirelessly, that points to the HTPC as the culprit. |
