Ok, not exactly diy in the sense of repairing or building something,
but setting wifi up at home.

I am fairly IT techie, but this subject is a bit OTT for me. I know
what I want, but not sure about what is needed.

I have a samsung TV, connected to a Pioneer amplifier, and from that a
pair of speakers which the sound from both tv and cd player is output
to.

I would like a wireless speaker , not bluetooth, to play music from
either tv or amplifier.
I've looked at wifi dongles for my tv and other similar devices, but
not sure if what I buy would do the job.


You need a wireless transmitter to plug into the audio out where you
normally plug wires.

Then either a matching wireless receiver or a wireless enabled speaker.

That is, nothing clever, just replacing a run of wire with a wireless
transmitter and receiver.

I assume at the moment you feed the output from both the TV and CD
player into the amp, and then have wires between the amp and the
speaker.

So you seem to need some kind of wireless speaker extender between your
amp and the speakers.

Yes that is exactly the thing I need then.


Sadly forgot to mention that you would need an amplifier to drive the
remote speakers or active speakers.

Haven't yet worked out if you are trying to move your main speakers or add
another remote set.

JR seems to be on the money.
