Some folks seem to be having fits getting wireless streaming working. While there are numerous variables that contribute to wireless connections either working well or not, and without -really- knowing anything about its inner workings, I contend that wireless streaming is still a bit of a black art.
That having been said, if you're willing to spend another $75.00 on an experiment, you may have the same success I've had. I have a wired (not wireless) Squeezebox. On my network however, I have two Linksys WAP54G access points. One is in the basement and the other is on our second floor, 20' feet above it. I have an ancient, piece-of-crap, Mac B&W G3 attached to the access point on the second floor. SoftSqueeze is running on it. I have NO dropouts streaming either Internet radio or my FLAC collection from the basement PC. Now this, it seems to me, definitely qualifies as a worse case scenario. On one occasion, I took the Squeezebox and the second floor access point outside for a party. From there, line of sight for the signal was through about 90' of dirt and concrete. I had no dropouts for hours streaming FLACs. Finally, around 11:00 PM, I started getting some dropouts, which I blamed on the neighbors clogging the airwaves. There are several wireless networks near me. So, if you're willing to invest in a $75.00 experiment, get an access point, and see if that works better. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29287 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
