[SJRA-Members] Shack Clock with automatic time set

I want clocks that set themselves.  I currently have (3) LaCrosse "Atomic" clocks.  2 out of 3 work in their existing location.   The one in my shack does not get a good signal.  I have tried different locations in the shack to no avail.  I supposed its reflections from lots of equipment and coax around the room.   I periodically leave it out overnight on my covered porch/deck for it to set.  I'm tired of this.

I figure most if not all of the WWVB (I think that is the call) clocks will have same bad RF location problem.  That leaves NTP, either wired to Ethernet POE or WiFI.    Since I don't have POE, that leaves WiFI unless I want to upgrade my Ethernet switch.  This one meets my needs, albeit at a high price.

Is anyone aware of other options?
