Well, you can expect it to work at 10 Mbps, maybe 100 Mbps if you're really really lucky. It's not going to hurt your switch. A 10 Mbps run is more than fast enough to stream 16/44.1 audio uncompressed and it may turn out to be more reliable than a poor wireless connection. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77974 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
