I beg to differ as I wrote that review:
Operating everywhere from 20 feet to one and half floors away the
quality of audio was directly related to what the file was set at. Some
extremely high bitrate (320kb) started to drop when I tested the unit a
floor and a half away, but thats only becaus
Interesting review, most of which is about setting up networks, not
something I have ever had an issue with at home, I didn't need to open
ports on my router or firewallsunless I was accessing the
slimserver from the internet...does everybody lock their firewalls down
even on their 192.168.x.x

I'll confess that I haven't read the review yet, but I'll mention that
you might want to be more careful with your distinctions here. The
issue for sound quality isn't com

I don't understand why you added all that stuff about port forwarding

A few criticisms about the review. I don't think I've seen even a
networking novice have so much trouble setting up the SB3. Most people
have it running in 10 minutes, especially if they've spent a little time
setting up SlimServer while waiting for the SB3 hardware to arrive. And
what's with a
Aha, got fooled by the site not following de facto standards about multi
page articles (i.e. page 1 2 3 ...) and didn't click next, assuming that
would be the next article.
Oh well, I take back what I said about no mention of how it sounds.

Great feedback, and like I stated - there is the option for regular
ethernet connection.
BUT, this is marketed as a "wireless streaming device" - so that's what
the article is geared towards.

IMHO you should state in your review that you're running an unusual
set-up with a h/w firewall just for the laptop. You leave the
impression that every user will have experience you had.

I agree with amcluesent, the complications of the network setup are of
your own making in order to maintain the security you want to achieve,
and the end result is the reader thinking they will have to do the same
and being put off.
I have no issue with enforcing high levels of security - it is
