In addition to the D-link, I have an even older Linksys that I repurposed for my Raspberrys a few years ago. Of the two the D-link is my daily driver.
Not really trying to hijack the thread, but I think I have a similar issue. The answer has probably been stated on this thread, but I’ve looked and am not sure.
I have a Xerox Phaser 7500 printer that I’d like to use on my wireless network. It’s connectivity is described as 10/100/1000BaseTX Ethernet, IPv6, USB 2.0 (optional: Wireless (IEEE802.11a/b/g)). Previously it has been wired into my router; now that’s not possible.
I’ve been looking for an adaptor for wifi to Ethernet and not finding it; maybe I should be looking for wireless to USB 2?
Or maybe the answer is already on this thread and I just don’t recognize it. Freeper help would be greatly appreciated.
Never let your dongle dangle.
It appears that almost everyone responding to you has missed this very important post. Hope the following helps.
“Your Aurender server must be connected to your router via a hard-wired Ethernet connection. Aurender servers do NOT have any WiFi connectivity (this is by design - most WiFi networks are unreliable and subject to drop-outs and limited bandwidth).”
“The suggested work arounds are to use an ethernet-over-powerline adapters such as the Netgear PLP2000 or a WiFi extender device with an ethernet port that is compatible with your router.”
BUT!!!
“However, there's another option to use a USB WiFi Adapter to create a standalone Aurender LAN which will facilitate communication between your Aurender and iOS/Android device for control via the Conductor App. This is a commonly used solution for exhibitors at audio trade shows, or for private users who are only interested in playing locally stored music files.”
“Here's how to use the USB WiFi Adapter method:
Plug a compatible USB WiFi Adapter into an available USB Data Port on the back of your Aurender.
On your iOS/Android device, go to your WiFi connection settings. You should now see a WiFi connection available that bears the same name as your Aurender, eg. “N100-xxyy”
Tap to connect to this WiFi LAN. The password will be “aurender12345”
You should now be able to connect to and control your Aurender.”

Thanks for your informative reply.
I was aware of the USB adapter....but was seeking recommendations of specific models that offer high performance.
Again, thanks for your reply as most of the previous were directed to PC connection.
btw, the Aurender N100 is an amazing digital “transport” that plays tracks from a SSD cache for best sound quality.
I have had other audio hardware used for digital recording. The USB ports in them were for storage or transferring data they could not be used with wifi adapters.
