Recommendations for A/V receiver with WiFi capabilities?

Either built in or through adapter? Just learned that my Denon AVR2313CI is network (hardwire) only, no WiFI capabilities.
Recently purchased Yamaha RX--V675 that has networking and WiFi capabilities for $299.95 but price has since gone back up to $499.95 on Amazon. This is now my primary in home A/V receiver.
Need WiFi capabilities as I want to avoid running CAT-5 wire from inside my house to outdoor kitchen. Purchased a new wireless router that allows me to receive coverage outside my home and into backyard area.
Suggestions? Any great Cyber Minday deals? Or time to go back to Accessories 4 Less and look at a refurbished unit that meets my needs?

Looks like this will fit the bill.
to you both.
Never owned an Onkyo before, solid brand and reputation?

without getting into it, yes. ignore the shitstorm you'll see online regarding onkyo and HDMI from years' past. they've fixed the issues so you can buy this with confidence..in fact i'd prefer the refurb (what i have) because onkyo has actually gone through & updated the chips in question with the fix.
also i can help you out will since i've got this unit..although i'm still mad you wasted a what invite.

I do wifi to the computer, where the music is stored, then Apple airport to the DAC/amp. Works exceptionally well. I have two computers with music on them and anyone who's on my wifi can play any song or one off of their phone.

here's the only diff between the 2 units
onkyo - record player input
sony - apple itunes support
i think other than that they're pretty equal.
does the sony have bluetooth? you'll find yourself using that a TON..at least i do

I'm confident that I would use a service, such as Spotify, Sirius, etc. and bluetooth from iPad to receiver.

Just get yourself either a router that supports tomato or DDWRT to act as a wireless bridge (requires a bit if tech savvy) or get a set of powerline network adapters (plug and play).
Can get a set of AV500 adapters for ~$30, and continue to use the Denon.
