wireless N sounds great and probably IS great but it won't be a simple task to implement the new protocol in people's homes. for older computers, a wireless n card will need to be purchased, then some folks will need to upgrade their routers, etc. etc. I recently purchased a Netgear MOCA ethernet adapter kit for my streaming video needs (i already have powerline adapters for my squeezeboxen) and it works like a charm. You simply plug any coax cable connection into it and then connect an ethernet cable out to any computer/ethernet device and you then have a connection that's faster than wireless n. I've always been sold on the notion of wired instead of wireless whenever possible. -- exile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
