Can I use ethernet cat6 to span 600 ft right out of my existing router directly into squeeze box? I am told 300 ft is maximum wired range. Can I double this range to 600 ft. by using two 300 ft cat6 lines joined in the middle with a $20 ethernet switch? Does switch require electricity? If so, is there one that runs on battery? I won't be able to easily extend an extension cord to switch.
Alternatively can someone advice on a router/antenna solution for around 400 ft? I tried using a dir655 router but even though squeezebox in shack could see network the wifi signal wasn't strong enough. As a last resort can I buy two ActionTec MI424-WR routers around $40 each and set them up as a bridge as seen below in my second post and have one sitting beside my uverse router/modem and have the other MI424-WR in my shack 600 ft away where my squeezebox is? And use 600 ft of coax to connect the two MI424-WR's? -- leif ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leif's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38372 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79140 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
