[slim] Setting Up Network
As some of you may have read in the Touch forum, we live in a house that is a total nightmare when it comes to WiFi. While the house is only about 1600 sq/ft, the WiFi signal from the second floor down to the first floor is pretty weak. The house is a rental so I am unable to run Cat5 cable around the house unless I want it laying on the carpet. You can imagine how popular that would be with the other half. So, as some have suggested, I am going to try using the powerline adapters. I am going to list the components I have, their location, and what results I am looking to achieve. I am not an expert when it comes to networking so I am looking for some input on how you would setup what I have and what you would buy (within reason). I am not trying to reinvent the wheel with my network but if there is something simple I could do or purchase to achieve what I am looking for, I am all ears. My setup: We have our DSL modem and Linksys WRT54GL router at the top of our stairs. Basically, the router sits almost dead-center in the middle of the upper level where it is now. In the room right next to the router (the office), we have an Apple Time Capsule using wireless to the linksys router. Hooked up to it is a laser printer that we use with our laptops via the network. We are going to set up a mac mini in the office as our media server until we get something better. The first concern is that the mac mini (or any server for that matter) would not have a hard-wire connection to the router. Our Master Bedroom is also right off the location of the router. We have a receiver, speakers, etc. in the bedroom. This will be location #1 for a SB Touch. Downstairs, we have our living room, which is where our laptops spend most of their time. As I mentioned, the WiFi signal from the router upstairs to the laptops downstairs is mediocre at best. A friend and I have messed with the location of the router to no end and it seems like this is the best it is going to get. Prior to owning this router, we couldn't get a WiFi signal from 25 feet away in a direct line of site with another router. There is obviously some major interference in this house. Also in the living room, we have a home stereo and a Roku Soundbridge hooked up. The 2nd SB Touch will replace the Soundbridge. The soundbridge works about as well as expected with the poor WiFi coverage in our house. For the most part, it plays without interruption. Occasionally it will have to rebuffer or it will cut out until it gets a better signal. We also have a PS3 and a Wii hooked up via wireless and they seem to work fine. We use them very little online so I wouldn't know if they were having problems. So my plan was to purchase powerline adapters to install at the router, in the master bedroom, and downstairs in the living room. Hopefully (fingers crossed) they will work better than the Wifi. The master bedroom probably would work fine with the WiFi but the living room is probably going to need the powerline adapter. So, having the listed components, is there a better way to configure things to better suit my needs. We like having the backup of the time capsule (without starting an argument on how useful the time machine backups are). We also like having the printer attached to the time capsule for network printing. I realize that we could easily go buy a network printer, but I'd rather spend the money on something else. The first thought I had was to relocate the linksys router to the office. This would allow the media server (mac mini for now) to connect via cat5 cable. The potential problem with this is the router gets further away from the center of the house which could potentially make the WiFi signal downstairs even weaker. The next thought I had was to move the time capsule downstairs and plug it into the powerline adapter (assuming the powerline adapter works as planned). I could then use the time capsule to expand my WiFi network and plug the Touch directly into the time capsule. The biggest drawback to this option is I can't exactly put my laser printer on my tv stand so we would lose the print function. The next thought was to use the time capsule upstairs as the primary router and then move the linksys downstairs to expand the WiFi and to plug the Touch into. From everything I've read, I think I would prefer the flexibility of configuring the linksys router as my primary router. I am almost certain the time capsule is very basic in network configuring. The other thought I had was to purchase another WRT54GL and put it downstairs connected to the powerline adapter. This would boost the WiFi signal downstairs and give me something to plug the Touch into. I could then move the upstairs router to the office, thus allowing the media server to connect to the router via cat5. Overall, my goal is to get the Touches playing in the living room and bedroom, and to get the media server going in the office. My secondary goal would be to improve the WiFi signal

Re: [slim] Setting Up Network
Thanks for the response. Basically, I like the router with DD-WRT because it is fairly inexpensive and versatile. Even more, I know they work in this house. Rather than start over trying to find a router that will work in our home, I figure I would stick with what I know works. The other issue is I own nothing that can use N. If I had at least one component that benefited from N, I might be able to justify going that route; however, to buy an N router to use with my G computers and SB touch seems kinda silly. I'll wait until they drop in price and/or I have a computer that would benefit from the increased speed and/or range. If I got a dual band router, nothing in my house would benefit from the N option since none of my components could use the N band. As far as I understand, the SB Touch uses G. So even going to a dual band router most likely won't help with my coverage issues since everything (including the SB Touch) would still be using G. If I am stuck with G, I will probably end up having to go the powerline route. As I mentioned, I am anything but an expert so if I am missing something, please let me know. If a Dual Band router could somehow help me achieve my goals, I would definitely like to know.

Re: [slim] Setting Up Network
One suggestion- your server PC should be hard-wired to the router, if at all possible. If not, when you setup your Squeeze system, you will be trying to make double-hop... PC/Server -wireless-- Router --wireless-- Squeezbox Player. Even with powerline adapters, I believe they have reduced bandwidth. I also don't know if you can run multiple powerline networks at the same time, or what kind of limitations/interference that may impose. Bottom line - eliminate as much of the wifi traffic as possible. If you can't move your router/modem into your office, could you setup the new server where you have the router?

[slim] Upgrading my experience? Need suggestions
Hi everyone, So I've been on the Squeezebox train since very early on. I have the very basic player - this one in fact: http://www.mpfour.pl/products_pictures/Squeezebox.jpg I love it, it's still one of the best purchases I ever made. But here's the deal. Right now it sits in our master bedroom, and we mostly use it to play music at night when we go to bed. My daughters each have a room down the hall, and they'd like to hear the music too. I'd like to run speakers to each of their rooms so they can listen at night too. But, I know next to nothing about electronics. All I know is I can hook up one pair of speakers to my squeezebox, not 3. I suppose I need some kind of receiver or something to make this work. The key thing is that I want to be able to turn off the speakers in one of the other two rooms, if needed, with just a button push. I assume this is doable, but maybe not easy? I remember in the old days you'd have a stereo and you could push a button to turn off the speakers - I was thinking that. Anyway, any suggestions would be much appreciated. -- tdellaringa tdellaringa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70188 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Upgrading my experience? Need suggestions
You must have some type of amplifier to run your current speakers... does it have a/b speaker outputs? That could solve part of the problem (provide one room of remote speakers). The EASIEST solution, however, would be to buy a Squeezebox Radio for each of the rooms. They are small, and self contained (have player, amp, speaker). Not sure about your network configuration, but presumably you are running your current SB3 wireless, so you have a wireless network already? (Although wired network is more reliable). With separate players, each can listen to different material at the same time (or can synchronize together so they all play same thing at same time). -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70188 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Well, I really can't afford to spend $600+ on new players. I have a player that just works fine. I expect to have to buy something, but I'd rather not buy 3 new products. My daughters are young and they don't need to be choosing their own music, just hear what's playing. Yes I have wireless running. To be a little clearer, we generally listen to Pandora or playlists from iTunes. I was thinking there was a receiver or something that I could use as a middle piece to plug the squeezebox into, then plug the speakers into and hook the whole system up, and control which set of speakers were on. I would think this is possible with the right equipment. There's really nothing wrong with my squeezebox either - works great and does what we need, so I can't really justify buying new product there anyway. -- tdellaringa tdellaringa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70188 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Upgrading my experience? Need suggestions
How many rooms are we talking about? I got the impression it was the existing room plus 2, hence why you needed three pairs of speakers total. In this case you're looking at 2 new players (total $400), not 3 - the SB3 stays right where it is. If you do want to go with speakers etc you're talking 2 pairs of (I assume) ceiling speakers, lots of wire, and 1 or 2 new amps. That'll probably come to at least $400 anyway. Plus installation if you're not handy enough to do it yourself. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'

Re: [slim] Setting Up Network
I turned on the Soundbridge and then moved my router around upstairs to see the impact on my network. Moving the router to the office caused the soundbridge to drop off occasionally. I ended up putting the router back in the hallway. I then ran a Cat5 cable to the office and hooked it up to the time capsule. So now when I get the mac mini and/or any other media server, it will be connected via cat5 to the time capsule, which is connected via cat5 to the linksys router. This should at least give my media server good access to the network. I think the SB Touch in our master bedroom SHOULD be able to use WiFi. The SB is only going to be 20 feet or so from the router. The most interference seems to occur between the upstairs and downstairs. Anything upstairs should be good with WiFi alone. I think I am going to order the Powerline adapter for the living room first. This will be a good test to see how well it will work. Then (assuming it works) I can try using WiFi in the bedroom with the Powerline as a backup plan. From what I have read on the dual-band N routers, no one seems to have had much success using N routers with G. Most have not seen an improvement on the G side with dual-band. Without a real need for a dual-band router, I don't want to risk buying one and having the G performance decrease.

The advantage is MIMO, which increases range, even if only one side of the transmit/receive pair is using it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70176 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I quickly looked it over and saw enough to know it is mostly over my head. I'm sure if I took the time to really try understand it, I might comprehend a little more of it. So, in plain language, does adding a dual band router improve the speed, coverage, or data transfer capabilities for devices that use only G? As I understood it, the N portion operates on the 5Ghz band, which relies on shorter wave lengths to transfer more data quicker. The drawback is that since the waves are shorter, they do not travel as far as 2.4Ghz waves. So if you are operating in a close-in area (router and device being relatively close) you could transfer data quicker than with the G band (all other things being equal). The further away you get from the router, the less efficient the short waves get and you lose the advantage you had. To compound the problem, I've read about the limit on how much energy the N routers are allowed to put out due to government regulations. In my situation, since everything I own is G, is there something to gain by purchasing and installing a dual band router? I am definitely not an expert in this subject so I am open to suggestions. I just thought the dual band router would only help me if I had N devices to run on it. Taking it one step further, if individuals that own dual band routers see a decrease in their G coverage using the dual band router, wouldn't this only compound the problem in my house? Please correct me if I am wrong in my rational. -- rrweather rrweather's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33706 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70176 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Setting Up Network
In my very large house with all masonry walls (including internal walls), the only way to get wireless everywhere was to use the Belkin Powerline Adapters - I have 2 sets - 4 units. I wanted to use my laptop everywhere AND have SqueezeBox music throughout the house. I have 3 SqueezeBox Classics, 1 Transporter. and 3 Apple Airport Extremes. The Belkins are connected to the Airport Extremes with an ethernet cable. One room needed the SB to be directly connected to the Belkin with an ethernet cable but the others are working wirelessly - without a problem. I highly recommend the Belkin product although I had to return 1 set because of a defect. No problem as Amazon took care of it. I couldn't be happier. -- sflen sflen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70176 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

MIMO (not dualband) increases the effective range, which in turn increases the speed in problematic situations.

Re: [slim] Wireless Headphones - Views/Recommendations ?
I have the Sennheiser RS-120s which I use with my PC many hours a day. I like them fine. I'm no audiophile, but they sound good to me. I don't get interference unless I am moving around the house--just sitting at my computer with them on is fine. My biggest problem with them is that they are loose on my head, so I can't do any headbanging ;) and have to remember to grab them when I sneeze or lean over. Apparently I have a smaller than average head. Another minor annoyance is that they automatically turn off after 2 minutes of silence. If you still have them on your head when they turn off, you get an ear-full of static noise. They are very comfortable and don't make my ears sweat. I like the cloth earpads over leather or plastic ones. Never had a problem with battery life, though I keep them on the charging stand when they're not in use. I do sometimes have to check charging status when I put them on the stand. The headband cushions block the contacts if you don't get them on there just right. I have made it a habit to make sure they make good contact. This might just be an issue with my set. -- MeSue SUE 1 Duet | 2 Booms | 1 Radio (beta) | 1 Touch (beta) | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Squeezebox Server 7.4 Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70201 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Squeezebox V3 vs Yamaha Naturual Sound CDC-655
Hello, I have been very happy with my Yamaha Natural Sound CDC-655 but I thought it was time to use my 2 year old Squeezebox v3 for real and file my CDs away. The player has been rock solid and has sonically been fine in my opinion. I am by no means an audiophile. I am not bashing Yamaha either. I don't know if this stuff is just in my head but The Squeezebox seams to have a fuller fatter (not louder... That is different) sound than my CD player. I can hear more detail too. He is the deal.. I use EAC to rip my CDs on my Wife's Window's machine. The drive I am using to rip is a tsstcorp cd dvdw sh-s182d. I didn't use any normalizing or anything. Maybe the Squeezebox has a newer better DAC? Actually I am using my AVR's DAC (Coax Cable) for the squeezebox so that is out of the question. Does the Squeezebox leave the stream alone or is there some EQ done on it? I hope that it is left alone.

It would be good to know what router works well with the belkin powerline adapters. Thanks again for the info. The router - Netopia - came from my internet provider. I have DSL at an 'official' 1.5 Mbps. I never give it much thought - it just works. You have my setup perfectly understood. My router is connected to my Airport Extreme which then is connected via ethernet cable to Belkin#1. This transmits to the other 3 Belkins in my house. I have an Airport Extreme connected via ethernet cable to a Belkin in two other rooms and my SB3 is connected with the cable in room 4. And yes, 2 of my SB3s and the Transporter are wireless. These three are in sync and no problems (unless iPeng and Logitech fight each other - I just use my computer to setup sync) The Airports are setup as 'Active Roaming. Go to Apple website/Support and enter TA25991 for a full description of how to configure the Airports. If you need further information, Apple tech support will help - the tech that helped me never heard of Active Roaming but called up the article and translated it for me. So I have wireless in my house everywhere except the one corner in room 4 that has my equipment rack (it figures - perfect reception in that room except there). The defective Belkin was easy to spot - it gave off a sound perfectly imitating a dentist drill as head in a dentist's waiting room. Belkin said it was a defective power supply. One small note of caution - if you operate a vacuum cleaner on the same circuit as you have a Belkin, it may cause interference and signal dropout. Your Squeeze device is fine - just pull the plug on the vacuum. Hope this helps.
