AX Test using PB G4,  MacBook and MBP - is it the AX or 802.11b?

I recently bought an Airport Express so I could stream iTunes to the main stereo. iTunes keeps cutting out. I'm using a NetGear MR314 802.11b - also tried a linksys 802.11b and same results.
At first I thought it might be the distance of the AX from the wifi router...so I now I have all 3 laptops and the AX within 5-7 feet of the wifi router and still iTunes cuts out.
I'm completely baffled.
I confirmed AX has the latest FW v6.3. I tried turning interference robustness on and off.
There isn't much to change config wise on the AX or the Netgear.
I find it hard to believe that streaming iTunes over 802.11b is more than it can handle. No other traffic is occurring over the wireless during my test.
Thoughts on additional testing?

Additional testing...
From each laptop I'm pinging the router and www.google.com.
The G4 has a consistent response of 3-5ms (router) and 75-80ms (google) where the other two (MB and MBP) have responses all over the field. 4ms to 1000ms to router and 70-1800ms responses to google. So something is clearly different between the airport cards of the G4 and the MB/MBP and the way they interact with the Netgear.
So I would only assume the AX would have similar responses like the MB/MBP since it is probably the same type of airport technology and not the older type in the G4 (just speculation)
The above is not even streaming iTunes.
When I stream iTunes even the G4 response times go up - 90ms to the router (vs 3-5ms w/out iTunes streaming) and 138 ms to google (vs 75-80ms w/out iTunes streaming).
So what conclusions to draw?
1) Airport cards in the MB & MBP have an issue communicating with the Netgear yet the G4 doesn't
So what about the AX?
If I'm directly connected (ethernet) to the Netgear my response times don't change and they are 1ms to the router and 67ms to google - so the Netgear itself isn't having issues...only the wifi between it and the laptops.
