I started my home network with wireless (luckily before I bought a SB) and it drove me round the twist with dropped connections and poor signal. I then discovered homeplugs and sold the whole set of wireless kit on eBay and replaced it with wired and added a SB. Never fails - I would never consider wireless again. Mains networking is so maintenance free in comparison - you plug it in and it just er - works.
Funny isn't it. I'm a sceptic by nature. So after my SliMP3 - which had no wireless option - I started out with a wired SB1 (bought it wireless just in case). Eventually I switched to wireless to get rid of the unsightly 10 m. cable running along the living room wall (I have two double cat5 sockets in the living, but they're never where you need them). I had no problems at all. The kitchen SB keeps playing even with the microwave on.
Then I upgraded to 4 SB3's. Started out with two of them wired and two wireless. None of them gave any problems. When I added a 2nd WAP to the 2nd floor of the house (to serve a webcam with marginal wifi reception) I switched the other two to wireless as well. Playing Flacs or internet radio gives no problems.
Well actually I've had one wireless problem when my downstairs WAP switched to 2Mbit for no apparent reason. Power cycling fixed that.
So I started out sceptical but I'm slowly turning into a believer. ;) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
