Streaming randomly drops out?

When streaming movies from our NAS GoFlex Home to our Samsung BD-HDD player the video file stops playing randomly and wont restart. We were watching a movie and after about 30 minutes it just stopped and when we tried to resume it wouldn't let us. It just started again from the beginning.

The NAS drive is new although the router is fairly old. Its a Linksys WRT54GL. I have wondered if the slower transfer speed of Wireless G might be the problem.

Any suggestions on what might be up? Thanks in advance for any help.

    It might be that the bitrate of your video(s) is slightly larger than the bandwidth of your WiFi connection, most likely because of router latency and/ or protocol (A/B/G/N...).
