Ahh, now I understand. Does not matter. iTunes and iPod don't care at all what transport underlies the TCP/IP network. Your 'network' in this instance is everything connected back to the Verizon router...your Airport devices are acting as wireless switches, not routers in this setup. (Routers connect different networks, switches connect different parts of a single network.) Your overall speed between any two nodes on the network will be limited by the slowest link, so the 802.11g will slow things down, but the 802.11n base station is connected to the network via 100 megabit ethernet..it will talk to your iPod at 802.11g speeds, but anything connected to it will talk to the internet at 802.11n speeds (actually whatever speed your internet is at, as even 802.11b networks can go faster than the average residential internet connection) The only times that you'll slow down a wireless station is when the faster and slower device are connected to the same base station, here you're connecting on two different segments of your LAN, so it's ok. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
