Just to be clear real world performance of 802.11b is closer to 4Mbps to 5Mbps vs the rated of 11Mbps and for 802.11g it's closer to 20Mbps. All this is greatly impacted by distance and interference. So yes if the Squeezebox had 802.11g built in you potentially could get better performance than the current internal NIC.
With the current price of the wired Squeezebox I would opt for that with a 802.11g access point. Here's a couple of links on 802.11x performance. http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Hardware.html http://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid40_gci961996,00.html On Thursday, March 03, 2005, at 09:34AM, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >That's not entirely true.
