Bridged Network Configuration

This configuration should only be used if you do not have a wireless network
in your home. Your Squeezebox Receiver will be connected to your wired
ethernet network, and Squeezebox Controller will use an ad-hoc connection
to the Receiver for it’s network connection.

Note: Ad-hoc connections on 802.11 wireless networks have much lower
range than regular connections (called infrastructure mode connections).
If at all possible, consider adding an 802.11 wireless router or access
point to your network. It will improve the overall experience of using
Squeezebox Duet dramatically.

choose to “Connect using Squeezebox” or “Connect using other

you should select “Connect using Squeezebox.”

wireless networks within range, so even though you do not have a
wireless network in your home, you will still have to select “Connect
using Squeezebox” to set up Squeezebox Duet correctly.
