You can use a Wi-Fi extender or a mesh system, plug extender or mesh node into the room where your system is located and run an Ethernet cable from the node to your streamer. Works well.
How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
My Bluesound Node currently receives Wi-Fi, but I'd like to switch to a direct link. I assume that would be with an ethernet cable from the modem to the Bluesound - with possibly a better switch between the two.
The problem is that my modem is in the basement and the Bluesound is on a different floor. There is not a clear path for running cable.
Is there a piece of equipment or technology that I could help in this situation?

Ok, yes, @soix I was wondering about a mesh node or extender. Given that either of those also rely on Wi-Fi it would seem (on the surface) that this wouldn't really accomplish anything. However, I am wondering if a high quality ethernet switch between a mesh node and my streamer could result in better sound quality than just wi-fi to my streamer. |
I've had issues like that and been amazed at what a pro installer could do to fish wire. A good electrician or network/alarm system installer can often work wonders. It's worth having one evaluate your situation. |
