I have had the Duet now for about 6 weeks and have gone through every
machination that I could think of to get it to work.  Although it
connected to my wireless network out of the box, the connection was
unstable and I could only stream MP3 files during the limited time that
it was on. 

After buying (and returning) several pieces of networking hardware, and
after a suggestion from a forum member I tried Actiontec homeplug
adapters.  First try, no go. Got ready to send these back. I decided to
give them another try. I'm sure I took a different route with the
controller during set-up, but the receiver did connect and now I have a
solid connection.  I am now able to stream uncompressed files without
interruption, stutter and so far without interference. (I haven't tried
while the washing machine or dishwasher are on yet). I was skeptical
about the whole thing but when I turned the music on, I was absolutely
stunned. 

I simply have the adapters set up in bridge mode and it does appear
that I am crossing a circuit breaker which I thought would give me
problems.

After my experience, I think that the learning curve in using the
controller is a bit long for a non technie like myself. It took a lot
of trial and error before I figured things out.  

If anyone else out there is still having issues with their wireless
connectivity, I would suggest giving homeplug adapters a try.  They
need no configuration when used in bridge mode.
