Stupid question about hooking up a streamer

My system uses a wifi extender, with ethernet to streamer. In essence, similar to what you are hoping to do. Works very well.

Yes, I do this with an Orbi mesh network and it works just fine.

Thanks for your responses, theo and ghdprentice -- I really do appreciate them.

Yes you can use a mesh network with a roon device the only issue can be is Roon may sometimes have an issue finding devices you may want to remotely stream to via Roon.

If all you want to do is to add a roon device that requires ethernet then adding a mesh node and connecting your server is no problem.

Yes. Just place a mesh node next to your system and plugin to that. This tends to work better and more reliably than most “onboard wifi receivers”. This is the way my two systems work, and they work very well. I know of a number of $150K systems that work this way. 

Does your Eero Mesh module have an Ethernet RJ45 output? If so just plug into that, if it only has one then get a splitter. Does your Eero Mesh module have an RJ45 input (as you can tell, I’m not familiar with the product), if it does but a small, usually 4 port, Ethernet switch and split your supply Ethernet cable into 2 out puts.

good luck
