Or these small TP-link. I use them a lot with devices that fail on WiFi. They can be used as bridges. Meaning take WiFi and send it on over Ethernet to the speakers. Cheap and EXTREMELY small. Just about 5x5 cm. Can be powered over usb. So probably doesn’t even need power from the wall, only fromBeolab 50.Why not apple airport express

I may be incorrect but I think those devices take a lot of bandwith from the WIFI in the backhaul.
With Powerline adapters no WIFI is involved.

I'm also having the same issues and it annoys the hell out ot me. I have an eclipse and have then connected via WISA. All the other products in the range work ok on WIFI like my core and eclipse.
Whats the link for the TPLINK modules.
I forgot the link to the tp link, https://www.tp-link.com/uk/products/details/cat-9_TL-WR802N.htmlAlso I can’t say it affects performance negative on WiFi having them connected. I constantly have a plethora of WiFi devices connected at home and most don’t send or transmit much data, even my vacuum cleaner has WiFi. It’s just if they all would do it at once that bandwidth gets constricted.Power over electricity works so so, I never recommend it because you don’t know usually how the wiring is done or how much disturbance there is on the cables. It usually works but slow. Or speedy depending on the location. It’s more clumsy plugs and cables as well. And you need one in both ends. You don’t need that with WiFi.
Thanks allot Michael, Have you tested these on the USB port of the 50's? I dont really fancy putting an ugly cable from my router to the 50s.
Unfortunately not, I don’t have those speakers myself. I have Beolab 20s. Beolab 50 would be nice but a bit to expensive and from what I gather not really well designed :/. I think they would work but I can’t say for sure. I hope so :)I forgot that they are only 300 mbit but I guess the network connection will be used mainly for remote control of them and not for any heavy data transfer?300 mb is still sufficient for most streaming so I don’t think it should affect them in a bad way.Thanks allot Michael, Have you tested these on the USB port of the 50's?

I run the wifi from apple time capsule. And streaming to airport express connected to the beolab 50 trough optical. Would be interesting to know if anybody having problems whit wifi from apple products.
So I was finally home again to test the wired setup.
I plugged in a network cable and one speaker (the master) started to ply straight away.
So I did a factory reset in the 50's and now everything is working fine again.
I did a room compensation calibration with the mic and created a few presets. (Movies and Hi-Fi)
Now let's hope all stays fine with the wired connection.
If anything does go wrong again I will report back, so no news is good news!
Thanks for all your help and support.
