Re: [H] 1000 Mbps vs 100 Mpbs????
Aside from small files yes, the usb is dog slow for backups or anything of that sort. It's more of a handy thing other than anything. If you're serious about backups, a NAS would be more "proper".

I think this has to be per segment. Example, I have a whs and all my machines on a gigabit switch. My transfer between whs and mce is about 69Mb/s. But the wireless routeron my network is 10/100.

Re: [H] Moving on to 802.11n
Thanks for the rec...I'm reading about yours now. What kind of range do it have? My router is on one end of the house on the second floor and the Tivo antenna will be on the other end of the house, but on the first floor. The width of the house is about 60 ft (a little less since everything is inside). These two devices have the qreatest distance. Right now, I'm using a linksys wrt54g with a wsb24 booster. That gives me around 68 to 72 signal strength on the tivo. One day I plan to use an iPad down there and my droid phone, too. I have a laptop in the kitchen but it works fine as it is a good be closer. Do you use the usb feature for external network storage? Do you backup this way? Also, do you stand your up vertically? I would think the antennas would be positioned better with a vertical orientation rather than lying flat as I see in the pics. ONe problem with the Cisco version is that it seems to be designed to lay flat on the surface. On 5/8/2010 5:29 AM, Naushad, Zulfiqar wrote: If you are using n, then get a dual band router.

Are the backward compaticable? Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use 802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days 802.11n ready? I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility. That makes me think it's not there. If it is there, which router is best?
[H] Moving on to 802.11n
So I hear that Tivo now has an 802.11n wireless adapter. I get spoiled watching HD movies from Amazon on my Tivo XL. Having the speed of 802.11n would make the transfers faster. But my laptops are 802.11b and g. Will they work on an 802.11n system? Are the backward compaticable? Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use 802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days 802.11n ready? I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility.
