I use a Linksys WRT-54GS router with stock firmware. Strictly for SB use, the WRT-54G model would work (no speedbooster - which only works when communicating with a PC or laptop that has a Linksys speedbooster capable wireless card installed).
I haven't had any problems and I'm pushing some good distances. My router is in the middle room on the top floor of a 2 story house. My server is in the basement toward the middle of the house and uses a wireless network card (too difficult for me to run CAT-5 cable down there). One squeezebox is on the first floor at the end of the house. The second squeezebox is on the 3rd floor in a room next to the one with the router. The antennas on the router are pointed downward on angles spreading outward. I can also use my squeezebox out on my deck! For this to work well, I need to reorient my router so the antennas point toward the back of the house, but this isn't a bid deal. I've found that as long as you have a 50% signal (which can be determined by accessing settings/information/player/signal strength), the SB will play flawlessly. My library is made up of mp3's encoded at 192VBR. On occasion I have played FLAC as well with no problems. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
