Customer Reviews
Works flawlessly--even with my 2.4GHz wireless network
I've had it for about a month and it works great. Opened the box, plugged in the USB cable and voila--music streaming wirelessly. It was really that easy. And it's much cheaper than a Sonos unit for ~$1,000, although I'm sure the Sonos product has it's advantages.
Also, my ATT U-Verse router is 2.4 GHz, but I do not notice any interference with the sound or my network. According to the documentation, it comes with a "sniffer" that finds an unused channel on the frequency, and it seems to work.
My only annoyance is that you can only play sound on your computer speakers OR the Xmod. But this is a Windows issue, not a defect of the product. It seems that Windows will only recognize one sound device at a time, so I've created a desktop shortcut to let me switch between the two. It's not a big deal.
Overall, I think it works exactly as advertised.
great idea, didn't work
when i plugged in the components on my computer, the computer made a very loud buzz and it did not work. the tech support people were of no help.
It has potential... to screw up your wireless network
Bought the Wireless XMOD after I bought a new wireless router (DLink DIR-655). Wife's macbook could access the wireless network fine until I hooked up the XMOD.
Apparently the Creative Wireless interferes with other things in the 2.5ghz spectrum.
Called Creative. There is no way to disable the wireless feature. I even removed the wireless module from inside the XMOD and my system wouldn't recognize it any longer. Put the module back in and covered the XMOD with aluminum foil, hoping to create a sort of Faraday cage... Didn't help.
It's as good as garbage right now.
