Hi head-drives!
I have ordered a wired Squeezebox to remotely serve music to my living room system. I decided not to buy the wireless version due to comments I read about some difficulty the WL SQB had with streaming lossless AIFF files. The wired version+bridge is about the same price as the WL version except they are not in stock
.
Soooo, I have also decided to add a wireless access point to my wired network router, rather than replace it with a WL router due to the potential slowing of my cable modem ethernet network .
Here is what I am planning at this point, observations and experiences are welcomed:
A Netgear 54mps wireless access point connected via ethernet to my Netgear router, wirelessly streaming to a Netgear 54mps wireless bridge connected via ethernet to the Squeezebox. Since this is a casual listening system, I am considering buying one of the cheap new digital recievers and using a digtal coax connection from the SQB directly to it for D/A conversion and amplification. Sounds like a spiffy deal to me, what say you?
Thanks, gb
