Hello,
I've moved to Raspberry Pi based audio as I can still use the wonderful Squeezebox ecosystem, but with better WiFi. So I have for sale a Boom that that I used in the bedroom that works well, caveats are the display is a bit dim and the WiFi doesn't always catch the signal. I ignored the first issue and used PowerLine adapters for the second - I actually also have these for sale, as I only needed them for the Squeezebox units. I also have a Touch that I used with my main system (a very fancy one that I've spent years putting together). That one works well, but the power supply connector is wonky, and so I wouldn't touch it once it's on as it might momentarily power off - which is super annoying. So it works fine if you control it with your phone like I did (I have Android and used Squeezer). I'm in Los Angeles, FWIW, but none of these are particularly big or heavy. PowerLine is a ethernet standard that passes the internet through the house AC power lines. It works quite well, though in my house maxed out at around 50 Mbps, which was completely fine for me. There are two PowerLine adapters with a single ethernet connector, and two of them with two connectors (so you can connect a computer as well as a Squeezebox, etc.). The 2 connector ones also have the AC plug itself pass through. One adapter has to be connected to the router to pass the signal to the rest of the house! This is the one connector model: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa4010-kit/ This is the two connectors + you can still use the outlet: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa4020p-kit/ Boom = $53 + actual shipping Touch = $73 + actual shipping PowerLine connectors (for all four adapters with 6 total ethernet connectors: $31 All together = $123 + actual shipping Cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ taloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116984 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
