How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?


My Bluesound Node currently receives Wi-Fi, but I'd like to switch to a direct link. I assume that would be with an ethernet cable from the modem to the Bluesound - with possibly a better switch between the two.

The problem is that my modem is in the basement and the Bluesound is on a different floor. There is not a clear path for running cable. 

Is there a piece of equipment or technology that I could help in this situation?

@cleeds Yes, the streaming protocol has a name - it’s called TCP/IP ...

Of course. That’s exactly what I said:

... streaming really is streaming, it’s not something else. Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify all use streaming protocols ...

@balooo2 mesh is NOT daisy chaining... Here is a better explanation, please see "Star topology versus daisy-chain topology":

The two really are fundamentally different. OTOH if you're comfortable with your simplification, though inaccurate, far be it from me to convince you otherwise. After 40+ years as a software professional, I've learned when to stop arguing.

Happy listening.

@musicfan2349 I did not disagree with you nor your explaination I stated you are 100% correct and clearly stated. "You are 100% correct in the deeper clarification but most are not that curious. Daisy chain is something most can understand and your breakdown is technically correct. But I’ll stick with Daisy chain when explaining our Mesh Ai systems :) No aurgument here you are on point. I am not a 40 year software veteran and I learned a long time ago KISS.

All the best!
