On a related note. I bought a Belkin G+ MIMO router over xmas to replace a really old Belkin I bought at the preG stage. It was upgraded to full 802.11G soon after I bought it and has worked well for the last 5+ years.
My SB2 & SB3 were working reliably streaming MP3, but downloads on my PS3 over wireless were very slow and I got breakups while streaming DivX to it using Tversity. Also some of the neighbours had got wireless kit, so it was time to boost my signal ;-) Anyway, after going MIMO, I noticed an immediate improvement. I can stream med-def ( > SD, but not 720p) DivX's which I couldn't before and I can also stream DTS5.1 flacs to the SB3 which I'd given up on before. The router itself does a site survey when you switch it on and will pick the best channel for you. I don't if or how often it might channel hop. I set the channel manually to what was on my old belkin router to avoid re-configing devices, but I'm going to give the Auto-channel setting a test to see how I get on. The only downside seems to be that MIMO routers don't do bridging, so the AP I had in the kitchen to boost the signal there is now useless and the SB2 in kitchen is still only reporting ~50% signal strength. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41987 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
