That's actually a brilliant idea! Hadn't thought of that, would've been a lot cheaper than the amount op homeplug adapters I now have :p Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004 + TMA Premium 905 + TMA Premium 901 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 + BK Monolith+ FF + Lenovo T460 + Kodi + Pioneer PDP-LX5090H Workshop: iPad 32GB Wifi + Squeezepad (local playback activated) Wherever needed: Acer Iconia Tab A700 + Squeezeplayer Kitchen: iPhone 5s + iPeng (local playback activated) + NAD 312 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 Headphone (cozy corner): Lenovo T550 + Squeezelite-X + Cyrus Soundkey + Topping A30 + Focal Elear Car: TBC ... bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108746 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I have set up a pair of Netgear powerline networking adapters, because the WiFi card in my TV broke. That worked fine, but my amplifier was picking up noise from the mains circuit. I ended up buying an power socket strip with mains conditioner to stop that.

Get a Strong 1600. Works great for me in a large flat with concrete walls. I connected it to the router and turned of the WiFi in the router. Its a MESH access point but one works perfect for me. It has AirPlay built in to so with the AirPlay plug-in you can use it as a SB to. Havent tried it myself yet. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk SB Touch to Hegel H90, Boston Acoustics A26.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Upgrade Wifi - Mesh - Which one?
having struggled over the years with domestic wifi gear, i would recommend looking at ubiquiti - ive not had to reboot an access point in over 3 years now. its a little more expensive, but in terms of reliability and convenience its hard to beat. dunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108746 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

+1 for PLC/Homeplug And you could also have a look at flat ethernet cables in passing.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Upgrade Wifi - Mesh - Which one?
I have Netgear Orbi (router + 1 slave) because I had wifi reach problem but where I live in a large 3 storey Victorian redbrick with lots of chimneys (i.e. thick brick inner walls in every room) and wooden floors. Router and slave communicate using one 5MHz channel but positioning of the units with a line of sight not through brick was essential for throughput. Even with the Orbi I need a homeplug to reach a corner of an extension due to foil backed insulation sheets on walls. Before I got the Orbi I used an Asus RTN66U which did a very good job using Homeplug to allow me to position the router in the optimum place rather than where ISP connection comes into house. If the flat is on one floor with concrete walls then unless you can get line of sight between the units and not going through concrete - homeplug would be a better idea - if only to reposition the main router . bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108746 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Upgrade Wifi - Mesh - Which one?
One alternative option to consider is using the wired power network ... e.g. via Homeplug. They usually give a local Ethernet connection and some also provide wifi.
