As someone who has abandoned his MP101, I'd encourage you to
check out the MP101 mailing list(s)
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NetgearMP101Group/) before
purchasing one. 95% of the messages are complaints and requests
for help - the MP101 has a _very_ flaky wireless connection and
gawdawful software (replaceable, though, by Twonkyvision).
Since the night I brought it home and got it working, the
Slimserver hasn't failed me once in over a week. The MP101
would fail a few times an evening at it's best. Some people
can't get it to work at all. I had to upgrade my wireless
router just to get to work enough that my wife would even use
it. It's too bad, too, as there are a few nice features of the
MP101...but "working well" isn't one of them.
