I turned on the Soundbridge and then moved my router around upstairs to see the impact on my network. Moving the router to the office caused the soundbridge to drop off occasionally. I ended up putting the router back in the hallway. I then ran a Cat5 cable to the office and hooked it up to the time capsule. So now when I get the mac mini and/or any other media server, it will be connected via cat5 to the time capsule, which is connected via cat5 to the linksys router. This should at least give my media server good access to the network.
I think the SB Touch in our master bedroom SHOULD be able to use WiFi. The SB is only going to be 20 feet or so from the router. The most interference seems to occur between the upstairs and downstairs. Anything upstairs should be good with WiFi alone. I think I am going to order the Powerline adapter for the living room first. This will be a good test to see how well it will work. Then (assuming it works) I can try using WiFi in the bedroom with the Powerline as a backup plan. >From what I have read on the dual-band N routers, no one seems to have had much success using N routers with G. Most have not seen an improvement on the G side with dual-band. Without a real need for a dual-band router, I don't want to risk buying one and having the G performance decrease. The Linksys is working good enough for now so I will stick with it. -- rrweather ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rrweather's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33706 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70176 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
