Gustard R26

@soix

The good news is just trying running an Ethernet cable from an extender is pretty cheap to try out, so why not?

i think this troll would rather come here and type his garbage ... probably an april fool’s day joke, and the joke is on us... so he has awesome mesh through his house, can even recommend the best mesh to all here reading... but doesn’t have a lan out for his dac... sheesh 🙄

@jjss49 Scratching my head as to how we went from Wi-Fi to having a mesh setup. If you have a mesh system why not just run a cable?  Something’s amiss here. 10 minutes I’ll never get back.

@soix @jjss49 Now we are name calling...A MESH system is a type WI-FI system.They are not two different protocals it is baffling how commited you are to something you obviously know nothing about.to the point of name calling.

It truly amazes me how ignorant some of you are pretending to know what you're talking about and abosolutely don't. My wireless routers are not in the same room as the system I would use the Gustard in is that so hard to comprehend as a possibility??? And in this case fact. Equipment should serve me not the other way around.

And since we are going there and I tried being polite...an extender is just that an extender it does not improve wifi signal in any way simply extends it.They've sold "boosters" in the past but that was merely snake oil.YOU will not get LAN quality (if you think that means anything) from a wi-fi extender additionally like anything else that depends on the quality of the extender output as well many cheap extenders will output lesser signal than the source point, you'll get on the internet but thats about it, sheesh

I cannot understand why you two cannot accept I am not interested in running a lan line from another room or incur the expense of an extender and simply want to wait for a wireless or non streaming R2R from Gustard. Lastly did it ever occur to either of you that I may already have excellent separate streamer(s) boxes and perfer to keep it that way? I already have several and really like them and not interested in paying for and duplicating an already 3X owned  function,no you did not ask if or how I currently stream just insist I accomadate the Gustard and than attack.

Thinking  wireless mesh is different from wi-fi says it all, you guys are scary...

@balooo2 Do you run an Ethernet cable from your mesh node to your streamer? You keep leaving pertinent pieces of information out of your posts, which is why we’re confused here. Or were we just supposed to magically know that you’re running a mesh system? When you say you’re using Wi-Fi no one will then assume you’re using a mesh system, which is a big difference. You don’t even seem to understand that if you run a mesh system you don’t need to run a line from another room, which is the whole point. Duh. Whatever. This is a mess. @jjss49 I agree this is troll city — too many inconsistencies give it away. I don’t believe you’re even running a mesh system or you would’ve mentioned it earlier and understood it obviates the need for a long run of cable, and I’m out.

@soix No I do do not run cables from my WIRELESS streamer(s) to my mesh node (which by the way is simply a wireless router that can be daisy chained) a simple google of the Asus AiMesh would have cleared that up for you and what I'm talking about.But you are not really interested in learning anything just presenting yourself as a know all. My streamers are AGAIN wireless and that is all I'm interested in is truly wireless streaming. You are assuming MESH actually means something more then a daisy chained wireless router system.Most new wireless routers offfer the feature of creating a MESH system if you have more then one unit; and if you are tech savvy they really don't need to be the same brand to create a MESH WIFI system. Yes I understand I can put one of my MESHED WIFI  wireless routers in another room DUH, but I have them placed  to offer the best coverage for my entire home which is why I have 4 of them and do not want to minimize signal in another part of my home for a freakin $1500.00 dac. I spent quite a bit of money, time and trial and error on my routers to have the coverage I want and really need in my home for me and my family, disrupt that for a dac? Who's the fool here?

Equipment should serve me not the other way around. I'll say it one last time...

I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A FUNCTION I WILL NOT USE. A LAN BASED STREAMER IS NOT FOR ME, HOWEVER THE REPORTED SQ OF THE R26 IS COMPELLING THUS MY INTEREST AND REASON FOR BEING ON THIS THREAD I WAS TEMPED TO PURCHASE ONE LAST WEEK ON SALE. I AM ASSUMING A NON STREAMING R26 IS ON THE HORIZON. THERE ARE VERY GOOD WIFI BASED WIRELESS STREAMERS OUT THERE, I ALREADY OWN 3. I HAVE A VERY ROBUST WIFI SETUP IN MY HOME,EVERYTHING INTERNET BASED IN MY HOME IS TRUE WIRELESS "AND I LIKE IT LIKE THAT". I WILL WAIT FOR A NON STREAMING VERSION OF THE GUSTARD R26 OR A WIRELESS ONE. Did any of that deviate from what I've been saying from the begining?
