Hi, I'm thinking of geting a Squeezebox (or similar device) so I can listen to the hi rez files resident on my iMac through my stereo on another floor. Sounds simple, huh? The problem is the wi fi in our house is created by a router hooked to my wife's PC. The iMac can see the wireless and this is how I get internet on the iMac. But will I be able to connect the Squeezebox (or any other music streamer) to our PC-based wi fi and then access files on my iMac? Or will I need the iMac to generate a wi fi network of its own? Thanks for any help!
The Mac will probably need a separate network. The network file systems are different etc.. The Mac can usually setup its own network without needing another router.
I know all of the SB devices, Sb2, SB3, Duet, Touch, Transporter. I only have one network and it's wired. When I need WiFi for audio I plug in an AirPort Express. Better security this way.
