In most cases any expense saved by not buying cable is lost again paying more for a wireless router.
Not having to spend an hour laying down the cable is probably lost + more messing around with wireless setting (you only have to see these forums). Your partner might be happier that you haven't put any wires around her house, but then gets fed up when the connection breaks. Wired is faster too, which again saves time and makes multiplayer gaming etc... better. Yes we all walk around the garden with our laptop seeing how far it will work, it was fun for 1 or 2 days reading a online newspaper on the toilet but other than in airports, airplanes, public places is wireless really that useful for most people? Is it really comfortable not using a laptop at a desk? The worst point is if the whole wireless craze hadn't started every new home would probably be built nowdays with just as many network sockets as plug sockets wired for 1000mbps. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18392 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
