I'll keep your words in mind in case I cannot achieve my goal. I have the wireless router somewhat hidden away and far from the Touch and the speakers, but it seems that a longer Ethernet cable than I thought might do the trick. Again, I thanks and I hope you wouldn't mind if I get back to you asking for more details on how to make your solution work. You see, I have what an IT specialist would consider an advance level of usage but not the faintest idea on how to configure things.
