If this really works, and is only this price, it will make a nice addition to MANY homes.
Tempted as this might make RELIABLE music streaming to my main stereo system possible. Now it is far from my router and streaming is not very reliable. Thanks for spotting this.
Well, it WAS all over the internets yesterday. yesterday I believe was press release drop day, coverage was on all the blogs.
I just installed the REC10 on my Apple Extreme network and IT WORKS! I can now stream music (Pandora, Spotify) to my main stereo system which I connected to an old iPhone. Wi-fi is stronger throughout the house. The included CD walks you through the configuration. I did have to supply my own Lightning to Ethernet adapter for my Macbook Pro and an Ethernet cable for initial configuration. In the first hour of use I’m very happy. I’ll report back if any problems develop over time.
Correction: the adapter is called Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for my Macbook Pro.
