The Wireless Access Point connects the wireless control point to the Ethernet network.
Linn recommends using a standalone wireless access point. Wireless access points built into switches and other consumer grade products are frequently (but not always) of a lower quality.
Minimum requirements: • "Enterprise grade"
• Wireless G
• Robust connection quality
and optionally • Power over Ethernet (PoE)
WAPs that Linn have approved* for use:
• Linksys wap200
• Dlink Dwl-3200AP
- An approved device is one that meets all the system requirements for that product type, and has additionally been tested by Linn. Many other non-approved devices will work perfectly well with the DS players. However, it is possible you will encounter issues with poorly implemented 3rd party products that impact the performance of the DS system.
