Most people argue that wired internet offers superior sound than wifi. Also, I’ve heard great things about using a Network Switch between your router and your streamer… However, I use the EERO Pro mesh wifi system. My streamer is connected via ethernet to my nearest node, NOT the AT&T modem in th…

Wired does not sound better than wifi in my system. Close, but, wifi is better.

It either works or it doesn’t. I have a six pod Eero system. Some components are hard wired across the house and managed with a switch. I also use an Eero pod as an access point.

Hey, just curious…how do you define “via Wi-Fi” in your system. My music files are on my iMac which “streams” over Wi-Fi to my AT&T router/modem, which feeds an EERO router basically followed by galvanic isolation via TP-Link Media Converters, a passive switch and a PinkFaun LAN isolator feeding my…

I think in reality the reason a lot of streamer makers don’t provide wireless access is that not having it results in a lot less support questions and complaints for them. I have never had a problem getting any streamer that allowed wireless connection to connect to my network but it seems to be a …

My music server is connected via WIFI. My Auralic Aries G2 streamer is connected via WIFI. My G2 has not lost connection to the internet in about 10 months!

With some sort connected dongle…or are the streamer and music server akin to a computer with Wi-Fi connection (just like my iMac communicates with my modem)? Thanks.

When I first connected my Aries G1 in June I hardwired it to the Mesh Pod in the room the same as the Bridge II had been but after a month I switched to wireless and to this day it has never lost connection so over 6 months.

A couple of points: I think most people would interpret ‘music via wifi’ as meaning that there is a wifi link somewhere in the path from where the music files are stored to where they are played via a DAC. If properly implemented a wifi link should provide isolation from upstream electronic noise. …

Mesh WIFI, still use Network Switch?

I agree, isolation is a must for maximizing potential of WIFI. Wifi module is galvanically isolated in well designed wifi streamers. AFAIK, same is true for ethernet.
