Well, I suppose I cheat because I have GE to every port in the house, but obviously the TP drops that to 100Mbs. I'd be ok with a per client setting to enable a feature based on wired or not. It would be even better if a network health monitor set that capability automatically so the user just gets the best the unit can do at any time...but I'll settle for basic improvement first. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36446 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
