Tunerstudio and Wi-Fi. Will it work good?

[HidRo]

So, instead of using Bluetooth, is it possible, steady, reliable, etc to use Wi-Fi?
What kind of RS232-Wifi devices are supported, how easy is it to use, etc?

Thanks!

I suggest a serial RS232 to WiFi module, they are about 20$ on ebay dead cheap...

[HidRo]

But do they work any good? Any one tried it?
Can it then be used with tablets and phones?

There are several WiFi to RS232 adapters out there. Most are based on the Roving networks module.
The WiFi can be used from both TS and SD.

I find it to work quite well, except for one thing. The Roving networks adapter has a periodic pause. Earlier I was seeing occasional pauses of 1.2s, with the latest firmware this has improved, but we are still seeing occasional pauses up to 400 ms. Other than that, connection stability and recovery is very good, much faster than Bluetooth. There is no 3rd party driver involved so that simplifies the whole implementation.

Setup can be a bit more complex too.

Then that is what I'm looking for, I believe.
I'm having some issues with the BT, as it goes offline, and takes ages to recover, etc.
If WI-FI is more stable (although it has some pauses) I think that is great.

THanks!
