Re: [slim] Announcing the Squeezebox Duet

2008-03-19 Thread Butane Bob

I am thinking about getting a Duet. I am a little concerned about a
comment on the Amazon UK website though, quote:

-'I bought a Duet to supplement my Squeezebox 3. To my chagrin the
range of the wifi for the receiver with the Duet is considerably less
than for the older Squeezebox. The result is that I cannot stream music
except within the room where the router is located. At anything over 40
feet away there is no reception, where the previous model plays clearly
sixty feet away. Normally you expect newer models to be better, not in
this case. It is a shame because otherwise the Duet is awesome. I have
about 600 CDs ripped losslessly to my hard drives and the sound through
the Squeezeboxes to my hifis is indistinguishable from the CDs
themselves. If you have a small house or apartment go ahead just don't
expect to stream through any distance.'-

My intention is to have my Duet two floors down from my wireless router
to replace my SB3 which I will move to a different part of the house, so
I am a bit concerned about this comment - should I be?
