It's not merely the drop in throughput, it's the fact that it has to go through 2 wireless hops. The router must receive the SlimServer packet then retransmit it for the SB3 to pick up. In excellent wireless conditions for BOTH hops, this should work OK. If either hop is over a poor wireless environment, there may be trouble, and if both hops are through poor environments, there will definitely be problems, maybe even at 250 kbps. A device with a small buffer like the SB1 or a SLIMP3 (wired to a WAP) will make this worse. The SlimServer, as the name implies, is a server. Anyone in IT will tell you that servers are never connected wirelessly - in fact many of them use gigabit wired connections. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23134 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
