    Help!!! Connect My Laptop to Stereo?
    I would like to use a wireless connection from my laptop to stereo. I know it can be done but not sure of the best route.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a product? I currently have a Linsys Wireless G router connected to my cable modem for internet connection. Can I use any part of that?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I would like to simply play my downloaded music from my laptop through my stereo without a wired connection. My laptop has a wireless card and I am hoping to connect a wireless router/modem to an AUX input on my receiver. I have seen a few products that can do this but was hoping someone had some experience with specific devices and setup.

    I have a Windows based laptop and a Marantz SR8000 Receiver.

    Hope this helps explain my situation.

    Thanks for the help.

    well my friend there is a wide range of options and prices along with the quality of sound that cover this area. The link Ericl is a start of some of the devices that will do what you want. So you can go with low end side of this:

    linksys Mp101 wired/wireless DAR (analog outputs only) get them ebay for less than $50 (has screen to see whats playing)

    Creative labs and others have similar products (but no screen) must use TV to view selections

    And there is the music/video players that stream both.

    Now for quality of sound, look at Slim Devices Squeeze box ($300) or even their highend Transporter ($2k)
