along with gigabit routers and switches and a new NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S WiFi router, all is good. Even my decrepit 2011 MacBook Air cracks 100Mbps on WiFi.

Before that, drop-outs with SONOS running TIDAL or QOBUZ on WiFi was plagued with drop-outs.

No more.

Still, the bedroom is the weak spot as it's at the other end of the house with even the inner load-bearing walls stuffed with insulation as sound proofing.

No Cat-5E in the bedroom as the wife got to the contractor that did the re-model (2003) before I did and said 'no phone in the bedroom'.

OK, no TV in the bedroom either so I win! :-)

For $12 that dongle looks like a good solution.

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
