no.
7 feet or 17 feet is fine. Just try a speed test from various locations and you will find zero degradation.
Is 7 feet way from wifi access point (ceiling) to stereo risky for noise?
For my stereo system, I have 2 seperete power lines running to keep no noise in my system. It's important for me to have that black background in the sound.
I want to get a Unifi router system with a wifi access point that mounts in the ceiling. The cieling type gives a donut type of signal through out the house. With the way my house is (kind of like a shoe box), my stereo is in the middle of the house. The wifi access point would also have to go near there... probably like 7 feet away. Is that risky in inducing noise into my stereo system?
Minimum 3ft between wifi router and components and cables. I use EERO 6e Pro mesh network and it’s excellent. You can use a high quality switch to help you place the router further away for components Also - do not use same circuit for your system and network components the switch mode power supplies used with routers a d switches will pollute your AC line

Thanks... I work in IT and all the engineers recommend unifi. It's what we use in our offices to. It's on a prosumer level for home users also. This is the access point I would have on my ceiliing. Pair it with one of their gateway routers which give superior performance. No more random rejections.

I forgot to add I use a linear power supply (5 volt LPS) to power the EERO Mesh node near my stereo which is connected with an ethernet cable. In fact, I use multiple LPS to power all my 5 volt stereo components. All my stereo components & EERO mesh node are on the same AC circuit all going through the same Shunyata MPC-12 power conditioner. |
@dman777 Every situation is different. You will have to experiment to find the physical and electrical environment that is the least noisy. There will always be noise. Minimizing it is the best you can do. |
