I saw one rarely-used 3B+ called 'Abox' (https://the-gadgeteer.com/2018/10/05/abox-raspberry-pi-3b-starter-kit-review/) (16G version) for 50 CAD online.

I could use a ethernet switch, but I have enough stuff plugged into the power strip, pugged into another power strip! The interference problem I am talking about seems to only impact the SB radios as they use a different WiFi chip than the Touch and other SB products. Thanks for the suggestion.

If it helps with listing alternatives, I moved to eeros Pro for wifi access points. The duet, controller and touch all work with them without problem, which I was pleasantly surprised about.

Re: [slim] ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8) firmware upgrade disconnects my squeezeboxes
I am looking at possibly getting the ASUS ZenWifi (CT8) which provides a mesh network, but is not WiFi6 like the XT8 version. From readings the various threads on the SB Radio interference problem, the issue is related to the Wifi 6 protocols. Anyone on the forums using the ASUS ZenWifi (CT8) successfully with the SB Radios? Any alternative suggestions? I want a two station mesh network, using an ethernet backhaul, and I need at least 3 ethernet LAN ports on each router/station for hardwire devices. I notice many of the mesh network options (Orbi, google, etc.) they only have 1 or 2 LAN ports on the stations. My view is since my media area and office is already wired for ethernet I should use it over WiFi. thanks, Paul P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114743 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Compatible WLAN cards for SB3, Boom, Reciever & Transporter
Sorry to revive an old thread, but the Aliexpress link above from w3wilkes is still valid and I am listening to my boom with this very card installed. Sorry as a first time poster I cannot link the URL. The original card is stuck down with double sided tape and is hard to remove. I ended up using a plastic pry bar (carefully). After replacing the card and running the boom in pieces it worked perfectly. Once I assembled my Boom I received a missing WiFi card error. Disassembled and wiggled the new card around a bit to clean the contacts and stuck the new card in with double sided tape. So far so good. While it was apart I scrubbed the sticky front panel, buttons and knob in Methylated spirits. From what I had read I was expecting to have to repaint the front panel, but the goopy layer was easy to remove and left a lovely satin black panel and a gloss black knob.
