Adding wireless to wired only device

DullGreyGuy

Have a bit of hifi kit that supports certain internet features but only has an ethernet port and whilst the router is in the same large open plan room it's no way practical to run a cable to it. In our old place used to use power line adaptors but because of the odd setup that isn't practical any more.

So what is the best way to make it wireless without compromising the rest of my wifi? Our main system is a Wifi 6 mesh system, amp doesn't need a fast connection but dont want other wifi devices to connect to the slow solution for this rather than the normal wifi. 

Think this thing on amazon would do the trick as it doesn't appear to be an access point but never heard of the brand nor the other similar devices.

maybe this will be cheaper.

How would I then stop devices connecting to it (as a range extender) rather than connecting directly to the router? Presumably give it a different SSID and then dont connect anything to it

Thanks, did look at the manual after posting (hence the later edit)... with our mesh system you cannot change the SSD for each node but spotted in the instruction for these you can

Might help if you told us which piece of HiFi kit you're talking about.

Its an Arcam AVR550 @SurferDan; getting on in age but dont see anything the newer models have that I want other than Dirac Live Bass and WiFi but not paying out the cost of a new AVR for those.

Is it as above with USB port Arcam AVR550? 

DullGreyGuy

There is a USB port, according to the manual it's only used for doing firmware updates or playing media on a stick

Having looked at the manual for the receiver looks like your only option is one of the wifi range extenders linked to above with an ethernet cable between the extender and the RJ45 (ethernet) socket on the back of the receiver.
If you just want to stream music from your phone (for example) a mini bluetooth receiver plugged into a spare pair of line level inputs will do the job. 
According to the manual the rear mounted USB socket can ne used to plug in a USB stick containing music files and play them.
Hope that helps.

I was wondering if you could use a wireless antenna but I don't reading above that is a viable option.
