I have used wireless for some time using softsqueeze with mixed results. Intermittant dropouts and on one occassion complete loss of connection for a day even though I tried changing channels. Wireless appears to be unable to pass through some wall surfaces and relies upon scatter ot find it's way around your house and it is also liable to interference. mainly from Microwaves although I did notice that I lost connection every time a neighbour used her remote control to open her car. Yes, I know that in the UK these car remotes are no where near the same frequency but the effect was very reliable.
I have now moved to the second generation (85Mbs) HomePlug Ethernet over Mains and have had a stabile connection for the past three weeks. The product worked straight from the box and will even work across mains extensions providing they have to mains filtering within them. I use mainly flac and can do file browsing and file transfer across the link simultaneously without problems. I might now take the final step and get a squeezebox now that I am happy with the connection. -- MrStan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22341 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
