Wired or wireless duet?

Thanks! Just wanted to hear from others that went wireless. May as well give it a try. Can always wire if necessary.

my wired squeezebox has NEVER had a drop out. i find it interesting that you'd base your decision to go wireless on 100% testimony that wireless does drop out. to each his own i suppose.

My wireless SB2 has never had a drop out. A lot of things can affect wireless in your home: distance from router to SB, cordless phones, construction of house, proximity to a microwave, manufacturer of router, proximity to other wireless networks (apartment complexes).

My SB2 is about 20 feet from my wireless router. I use a wifi friendly DECT 6.0 cordless phone and the kitchen is on the lower floor. I can see about 6 wifi routers in my housing subdivision, but I've had no problems with interference. My wifi router is a Belkin, with dual antennas, that is about three years old. I keep thinking about replacing it, but if it isn’t broke then why fix it. One final note; I have 14 wireless devices in located throughout my home (laptops, Tivo's, SB's) and none of them have had any problems with dropouts.

BTW, my Duet has never had a dropout either.

Thanks for the response. Glad your having such success with your wired system. Don't really understand your other comment.
"i find it interesting that you'd base your decision to go wireless on 100% testimony that wireless does drop out"

Only said I would give it a try. Thought of getting in the attic with outside temp hovering around 100 and attic temp probably at or above 130 wasn't very appealing. For now I can "give it a try". When things cool a bit and if I am experiencing any problem I will wire thus
"Can always wire if necessary".
Might have thought about asking why I made the decision to "try"
To each his own I suppose.
