Long live the wire!!!
wireless is so over used it just makes me laugh. We all want easy so we use wireless without an understanding of the technology.
First off it is a shared medium, all things that attach to it share the bandwidth. It is half duplex so it is tranmit or receive but not at the same time. It steps down to the lowest connection standard connected to it. (That’s why most use dual radios now)
Other electronics can cause interference with the wireless.
All these problems can be overcome with a direct connection from Ethernet. (Provided you run it to the IEEE standards.
Ok ok so running a wire is too much work... as stated above do not use a so called extender. A better radio and or additional radio in the house is the right way to do it. If you are running your music on it I would suggest dedicating a radio and making sure the channel is at least 2 off your other wireless in the house. This will prevent the other bandwidth hogs in the house from robbing your Tidal of wireless bandwidth.
For myself I will always go with the dedicated wire 😉. It is the simplest way to not introduce problems.
