I'm with you in theory...but wireless performance typically falls FAR short of the specs. A few walls, a little distance, some interference (microwaves, phones, other WAPs) and soon you're piddling along at greatly reduced rates. Just search around this forum for proof that people sometimes have trouble streaming higher-bandwidth stuff over wireless. Fact is: wireless is flaky. Thankfully the SB's large buffer does a good job of handling this in most cases. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
