Wireless adaptor

Dear Nick,

I use an Airport Express (see topics on my experience with a V-Dac and the Nait 5i). The Airport Express is not "convert" wireless to Ethernet. What it can do is various things:

- stream your audio files wired or wireless into your Hifi system. The Airport Express audio out is a combined analogue as optical mini-jack. Especially the optical out is interesting; can be connected into your DAC

- extend your current network

- can be used a wireless hub cnnected to your current ethernet-network

- can be used as wireless print-hub to have all your home-pc' be able to wirelessly share one printer

The Airport Express is not expensive, is small an works completely silent. Though setting it up in some cases is a bit of a problem, so I strongly advize you to thoroughly ask the dealer how to get it working baring in mind what you specifically want to do with it.

I'm using a Buffalo link station to grab the wireless signal at a physical point where I can run cables in. The NAS and HDX are connected to this and although they communicate by network protocol and don't care where each other are physically located, they are essentially wired together. It strikes me as an elegant solution for situations where you can't or won't run a network cable in. The main thing is that it just works. I assume the AI does the same thing - and more from the sound of it.

Hi Harry,

Do you mean that apart from the Buffalo Linkstation, you also have a seperate NAS ?

No. I'm talking out of my bottom. I've got a  Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter, not a Linkstation.

Brain's going.
