I was disappointed when I attached my squeezebox via a 400ft. cat5-e cable to my router and didn't get a signal. It played a couple songs but after a few minutes wouldn't recognize my network. So the next thing I plan to do is setup a dir655 wireless router in between my squeezebox and modem and try to send a wifi signal to the squeezebox about 300 feet away from the dir655. The dir 655 will have to be wired to my modem via ethernet. The questions I have are the following: I have a 200 ft. ethernet cable I'd like to connect the dir655 to from my modem. Although the distance is only 100ft from my modem to the dir655, I'd like to avoid cutting the ethernet cable in case I need the 200 ft. run for a later project. Will the wireless router be able to shoot a signal just as strong fed from a 200 ft. eternet cable as it will fed from a 100 ft ethernet cable? If an ethernet cable gets cut accidentally can I splice it back together? Is 300 feet for wireless squeezebox fringe range? My conditions are not ideal. The squeezebox is in a kind of valley below where my dir655 is so I imagine I'll have to point the three dir655 directional antenna's down towards my shack where the squeezebox is. Thanks for reading!
