It wasn't the router, but the server I added an 5 G adapter, the router
has nothing to do with it as the Touch connects to the sever for file
info.

2nd Touch Wirelessly connected (Master Bedroom)

3rd Touch Wirelessly connected (bedroom)

4th Touch wirelessly connected (bedroom)

Re: [slim] using Squeezeplayers as PA system

openhab home automation has a component to do this. It's a lot of work
to set up just for this. Just thought I'd mention it.

Re: [slim] Improving Wireless Strength on the Squeezebox

2017-08-06 Thread alfista

Actually think the internet would be a saner place if all texts
containing "s*und st*ge" would be quietly sent to /dev/null.
I mean, is it really a thing? Is it ever used in any meaningful
context?

And if someone actually believed the stuff, hooking up the server to 5
GHz isn't "putting out more bandwidth" to any Squeezeboxes, for a number
of reasons it will be exactly the same.

Glad this worked out for you, but there is no reason for anyone to
expect the introduction of a 5G wireless router will improve the sound
quality of their Squeezeboxes.  You might believe you hear a "bigger
sound stage and more depth", but I suggest this is due to your
expectation of the results rather than to any real result.  Valid as
this might be to you personally, it's not an adequate basis for
recommending that others follow a similar path to the same result.
