DROP OUT cure! Make sure "Enable Interference Robustness" is Checked!!!

Question

I found the secret button - and now music plays like there's no tomorrow!
Like - I spent at least three weeks - three different routers trying to get my music to stream without drop-outs - to no avail. Then finally I FOUND THE TRICK. Like duh! Read on.
Here's my set up -
3 Airport Express Boxes fed to three separate amps and speakers around the house
1 Apple TV fed to the home theatre
4 Laptops connect wirelessly to the Netgear
1 NAS drive hardwired to the Netgear with all the iTunes Music on it
All connected to 1 Netgear MIMO-G Router via WPA Security
Man this was killing me - with all these variables I couldn't figure out why my music would play OK for a few minutes, then either drop out every minute or so for a few seconds - or just crash my router requiring me to kill its power for 2 seconds. This was killing me. I was about to give up on Apple and get a Roku.
But alas - here's the cure
THERE IS THIS LITTLE TINY CHECK BOX IN THE AIRPORT EXPRESS ADMIN UTILITY -
ON THE AIRPORT TAB - UNDER THE BOX THAT SAYS WIRELESS SECURITY THERE IS A TINY BOX THAT SAYS:
"Enable Interference Robustness"
Click that - and you are in like slim.
I found so many calls for help on this board for drop-outs that I had to just write this post. Good luck to all!

Ok, so all i got to say to this setup is wow you are a crazy man lol. First off storing your itunes library on a drive on the network is going to add more latency to your network as each time you try playing a song its having to go from your computer to the router, to the NAS drive, back to the router and then to the airport. However one thing i didnt see or maybe you may have tried i dont know is before using the enable interference robustness option did you try changing the wireless channel on the netgear router? Could just be something is interfering with the current wireless channel that its on. After tinkering with Interference Robustness myself ive found it to be like a Mass Blanket of wireless transmission. Think of you and another person being in a room with a crowd of people and your yelling back info back and forth. Sure you can hear and talk back to the person but your range to hear and speak is greatly reduced meaning if you wanna add any other wireless products that are outside that reduced range your kinda out of luck.
