Thanks for all the suggestions, Safe to say I'm a litle overwhelmed. I've decided to forgo all wired methods. I bought the powerline switch pack but even though it worked in my house when I tested it, it wouldn't work in my shack. My uverse/modem router is 400 feet from my shack but there is a hillside between be and my shack and my uverse modem/router doesn't have external antenna. I've been told by both logitech and my modem/router that wireless repeaters are incompatible for my router and squeezebox also so here is what I tried. I attached a 30 ft ethernet cable from my uverse modem/router to a dir 655 router I placed in my attic. Attic just cresess the top of the hillside obstruction giving a clear line of sight to my shack only a little over 300 ft away from attic location. I was disappointed that though squeezebox could see dir655 network it couldn't connect. Is there an antenna I can buy for just the squeezebox location that will allow me to buy a cheap bestbuy router without external antennas to put back in my attic again like before? This will require a wireless bride to sit beside my squeezebox though right? In that case I may not want to do that. Or is my best bet to borrow my friends dir655 again and set it up as before in my attic but attach an external antenna to it and if it works? If that still doesn't work could I have a router in attic with antenna but have the antenna attached to the outside of the house and fed through the wall? The other thing I was thinking about is if the wall of my house is what's making the difference of the signal not making it. Then without any antennas how about could I get a cheap bestbuy router connect it to my uverse router with 50 ft of ethernet cable and attach it to the outside of my house high up and under the eves to protect from rainfall? Can I weather proof it?
