The cheap $20 TP-Link access point arrived today. I configured so it had an IP address of the very last IP in my main routers DNS pool.
I disabled DNS on the new AP and set the default gateway and DNS servers to the IP of the main router. The main AP is using channel 1 so I set the new AP to use channel 11. I gave the new AP a very appropriate name (SqueezeBox), set it to use the same security type with the same password and then applied the settings. I verified I was able to connect to the new AP using my phone and could get online. I then ran a cable so the new AP is positioned about in the middle of the house. I left the three booms connected to the main AP, and one at a time changed each of the five radios over to the new AP. After configuring a radio I played a FLAC that would fail before and repeated with another radio until they were all connected. When it was all said and done, all five radios, three booms and the touch were streaming my large FLAC files throughout the house without a hiccup!! Another observation is that my controllers seem to refresh faster, maybe due the additional bandwidth available now? Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know the recommended solution worked like a charm and I'm happy as can be.
