When you say "avoid wireless", are you referring specifically to the
end-to-end connection between the server and the Squeezebox (via a
wireless router), or just to the portion of the connection between the
server and the router?
I have two Squeezeboxes arriving next week, I was planning on going
hardwired between my server and my router, then wireless from the
router to the squeezeboxes - is this a situation to be avoided (and
why?).
Thanks.
wireless in general is immature and unreliable technology. Some people
get lucky or are well-educated enough to work around the rough spots and
will argue with that statement until they're blue in the face. But if
you're a plug-it-in-and-go sort, and troubleshooting a problem does not
sound like a fun way to spend the evening, you're going to be happier
with wire. If your situation does not allow for a wire, then go wireless
and see if you're lucky.
If you're not, start by changing the channel on your router, then
replace your cordless phone and microwave, then ask your neighbors to do
the same.
