Anyone wireless setup in a wall mounted jukebox.
« on: April 11, 2007, 09:06:10 pm »
I am getting the wall mounted kit from Mameroom. I would like to incorporate a wireless internet connection for downloading CD covers, etc.  Has anyone come up with a way to mount a wireless card were it gets a decent signal from the router but is not an eyesore sticking on the outtside of the jukebox.

Have you considered possibly a USB network device such as this one?

I used a dongle inside the wallmount with no problem.

So the "antenna" is totally inside the box?

Yes, it wasn't much bigger than a USB memory key. 

The juke and the wireless access point were on the same floor of my house at the time, but I didn't think a further distance would be a problem.

This is what I am going to use:

USB Wifi

Also, I think ASUS makes motherboards with onboard wifi cards.

I use a PCI based network card with the little antenna. Works so far.

I use a USB WiFi dongle and it came with its own stand like this one.   You can just use a USB extension to move the dongle outside the case if you cannot get one with the stand.

Thanks for the replies.

I found a great deal on a d-link with the base and usb extender. If someone can help me out with how I will post a link.

To post a link just click on the tag that looks like a world globe and when it comes up with {url}paste here{ url} in straight brackets, paste your link in between them.
