I'll add another vote for Wall-plugged (powerline) networking. All my SBs have been wired-only units and I took the $50 I saved on each SB and spent it on A) having Cat-5 strung to 3 locations and B) deploying Netgear XE102 wall-plugged units to 2 locations.
The wall-plugged solution is an excellent compromise. Unlike dedicated runs of Cat-5, you can move the network to any AC plug in the house (or grounds). You can use it in an apartment, and take it with you when you move out. No networking experience needed, zero configuration, no dropouts or bandwidth issues. Plug 'em in and they just work. Run the little Netgear app that encrypts the whole powerline network if you're worried about security. Done. Wireless is a nifty idea, but most SB owners would rather listen to music than become networking gurus. Wall-plugged facilitates that, and pays for itself by letting you buy the cheaper, wired SBs. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23134 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
