More or less already answered, but you'd be avoiding the 2 wireless hop configuration. 1 wireless hop is enough. I guess you're asking why would it be preferable to wire the server and not the SB over wiring the SB and not the server? That's a good point. The server's bandwidth needs will only be higher if it's used for other things than SlimServer, i.e. file sharing and Internet access. I guess I was looking at it from the "always wire the server" rule. NWP, I'm not so sure there's an advantage one way or the other when dealing with multiple SBs. Your total bandwidth with 802.11g is about 25 Mbps useable or less, which is shared among all devices. Therefore whether the 25 Mbps is shared between one big stream from the server, serving multiple SBs, or multiple streams from the router to each SB, it shouldn't matter - the same amount of bandwidth must be shared. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24540 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
