WiFi extension for streaming


I'm looking into streaming. Would a WiFi extension affect the sound quality of a really good streamer. Ultimately would the Lumin x1 with the adaptors for fiber- optic wiring work hardwired to a WiFi extender.

Should be fine.  Just need a strong connection. Use an extender if needed for that.  I do. 

I’ve ditched the power line extender I was previously using- although there was really nothing wrong with it the mesh definitely maintains higher and more consistent network speeds. The only issue I have is with the mesh unit having to be rebooted once in a while.

Never use wifi to stream.  It will always be much inferior to hard wired.

 

People give advice on which wifi to get. that is good advice assuming you are ignoring the advice above which trumps all wifi recommendations.

Another vote for mesh network extenders. And even better, a long hard wire run from your modem starlight into streamer, if that’s possible. If you are thinking fiber, opt for that over wifi or mesh network extenders. Last thing you wanna do is plug your X1 into a power line ethernet extender 😳
