Hi Rob,
sorry for my late reply. I was out of office for some days.

Pi Zero W cannot be updated with a newer release of rooExtend. It is a ARMv6 and the new release is for ARMv8 processors only. Pi4 and also Zero W2 will work with the new release but Zero W no more.

By the way: The Quick Installation Guide is in English!

DrCWO,

Thank you. Hope all is well with you.

I purchased a Rpi 4 so I can get updates. I am reading your How-To articles and watching your YouTube videos to set up the RPi 4.

Will a Pi4 connect wirelessly with my new network security of WPA2-PSK.

Thank you,

I expect it will but not tested until now.

But please be careful regarding Roon/rooExtend and WiFi. Roon don’t recommend it and the past showed that weak WiFi leads to connection breaks and restart on rooExtend.

So my opinion: It’s more stable using an Ethernet cable to the Raspberry Pi.

Thank you for the advice to not use wireless for rooExtend with roon.

I’m very pleased with rooDial and roon in general.

Best,

Rob
