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?

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.

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.
