Anyone Run The Radio Wired ? Lights in Back?

[Kiwi]

.....I bet no one ever considered this issue at Logitech (since it appears that most people run these things wireless). However, wired is always better, if you have the choice for any networked equipment.

I would give the folks at Logitech the benefit of assuming they did think of that as the SB Boom does not have Ethernet lights as a typical usage of that device is as a bedside clock/radio. The other aspect to consider is that the SB Receiver only has the front LED to indicate status so the Ethernet LEDs perform a useful function in knowing something about a wired connection.

That's exactly right, the LEDs are only on the Duet Receiver because
it doesn't have a screen to show messages about connectivity.
