Unless I am misunderstanding you, what you are doing is using an WiFi extender to your Bluesound to get the same signal from your router you’d get if you could use an actual direct Ethernet wire to your Bluesound. Which is what I am doing since I cannot right now go wired ethernet from my router to the Bluesound. All those companies equipment work can work that way. It’s just not the best most stable solution. Let us know if I am misunderstanding what you are doing.
CD Ripper Ethernet conundrum
Just wanted to contribute that these devices can perform without Ethernet.
Aurender, Innuous, Naim, and Melco, and some others were contacted by customer support. *All* of them insisted Ethernet was required and there was no other option.
I am currently using the BS Vault without Ethernet, going around this by using a “bridge” dongle that utilizes our lame wifi. So far no issues. I can post a link to the product on Amazon if anyone is interested.
