The device I want to connect to my network is a “music streamer” (Aurender N100) with 2TB hard drive storage of music files - not a PC.
Currently, it’s hard wired to my router but moving soon and router/modem will be in a different room.
Does the music streamer support WiFi?
How about a pair of the Ethernet-on-110V-adapters, or whatever they’re called? You can stick with your “hard wired” setup and not worry about support from your non-PC device.
I gave you a single link because I discerned that this was a mind-reading thread.
Since I was correct, good luck with that.
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.”
