Given the choice, wired is almost always more foolproof. Much easier to set up your Squeezeboes, too, since you don't have to enter a wifi password in one of the half dozen or so different Squeezebox interfaces for doing so. Someone mentioned not 'making' your own ethernet cables... You don't want to make your own _patch_ cables. These are the short, flexible cables that you use to attach equipment to switches, hubs, and to wall jacks. It's difficult to do well, and the store-bought variety are cheap and available in any length you like. Google running ethernet cabling, though. There's a lot of online info, and you'll find that you can easily do it yourself. Use solid core cable and punch the ends into wall jacks and/or patch panels at either end. Don't use patch cable (flexible, stranded core) in walls unless you leave the original RJ-45 plugs on either end, which generally makes for a sloppy install. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70586 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
