All,
I'm a long-time admirer of Kaleidescape products/systems and have finally taken the plunge into ownership! I've purcahse a 4TB Alto along with a DV700 Disc Vault. I haven't received all the pieces yet, so I'm just trying to learn some of the basics of set-up and configuration. The first (and hopefully most basic) question I have is how to best connect the Alto to wifi? I understand that wife is not built in and that the systems originally shipped with a pre-configured USB dongle, but the unit I purchased was not sold with one. Am I best served to try and locate/buy one or can I configure any dongle to be suitable? Further, I recognize that I could connect via ethernet connection for greater reliability and speed, but I don't have any way to direct connect from my AV Cabinet. Perhaps I could utilize a powerline adapter? Sorry for the newbie questions, but any guidance is greatly appreciated.
