I'll also add that Airports don't play well with non-Mac devices
as a rule - ESPECIALLY when trying to manage multiple spots, as
I have an Airport Express which is only a few inches from my SB3. Which
would be better to use between the devices: the wireless or the wired
connection? Or doesn't it matter.
I am asking as my signal strength, despite the WDS being set properly,
reads only as 50-55% which makes me wonder how
Wired is generally better, as it's not susceptible to interference from
microwave ovens, cordless phones, your neighbor's wireless network, or
other sources.

Thanks. The point is that the Airport Express isn't operating as a
router - it connects wirelessly to an AIrport Extreme Base STation
(which then connects to the SLimServer machine via wires/switch).
So, it's a matter of whether I'd be better off just having one wireless
stage or two...

If your wireless strength is that low, are you sure you're not reading
the Extreme Base that's further away? Are the channels of the two too
close together? You should have at least 2-channels of separation if
not 3 between the two wireless devices.

I currently use my SB3 running wirelessly on my MAC OSX to a pretty
decent audio system; NHT speakers, Velodyne Subwoofer, Parasound HCA
1000 power amp, etc. I have an older NAD intergrated amp used to power
my outdoor Bose speakers that I primarily use in the warmer months by
the pool. My
I helped a friend of create a similar setup. We used cat 5 network
cable combining pairs to for the left and right channels and added
rca ends to it. The cable was then hooked ot up to his receiver's
tape monitor loop to feed his amp for his pool speakers. It was an
experiment but it
So that worked with on the same wireless network as SB? Why was the cat5
cable necessary? With my setup, I lready have my amp connected to
outside speakers. All I want to do is add an Airport Express into the
mix for the outside. I was wondering if that would cause a problem with
my current
If I understand Patrick correctly, the cat5 cable was being used as an
audio cable to connect one amp to the other, using a line level
connection. Think of it as extending the SB to reach your secondary
amp. Using regular (unbalanced) audio cables over distances more than
1-2 meters often results
All the cat 5 cable did was carry the audio signal to the other amp.
Cat 5 cable was used since it's inexpensive and I already had it. In
my friends setup the SB3 is connected to his primary stereo and we
piggybacked on the audio from his SB3 to feed another amp. It
doesn't matter if
Yes, that's about it. right now, my secondary system for poolside is the
NAD and I use an iPod connected to the amp with Monster Cable resulting
in pretty good sound. Also connected is an XM radio, a CD changer and a
NAD tuner. Actually, the NAD is in my basement near a window, so your
idea of a
