B&W A5 and A7 keep dropping audio using AirPlay

I have both a B&W A5 and A7 and every time I use them for Airplay, sound keeps dropping in and out. It happens with my iPhone 6 Plus, iMac and 2 Macbook Pros. When I use Airplay to my Cambridge Audio Hi-Fi, it works seamlessly so I know it's not the network configuration.


I am running a 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID from a Time-capsule with different names and it happens with both SSIds.


Any ideas?


Thanks

Ok, now resolved!


After much re-configuration of my A5 & A7, my Time capsule and Airport Expresses I still had the same problem!


I then realised that my phone base station was only a few feet from the Time Capsule so I unplugged it and moved it away; music that had been dropping in and out for the previous hour then started to play continually and 3 days later, not a dropped signal at all! Sometimes it's the very little thins that catch us out.


So, if you are having issues like this, make sure that there is nothing that can interfere with the signal near the speaker OR the router!
