Some people do it. However if you run into wireless problems it will compound them. In short, you're asking for trouble. Each wireless packet will now have to go over two hops: SS -> wireless router -> SB. You increase latency and decrease speed and throughput each time. As I said, in certain situations this may work without any adverse effects - every time I post this I always get a few people saying "works for me". Be that as it may, if yourself or a neighbour buys a 2.4 GHz phone or sets up a new wireless network on the same channel as you it may not "work for you" anymore. You already have a cable going to your modem-router, be it phone line or CATV cable, what's one more going from the router to your SS box? You don't have to run it all over your room, just place the SS box beside the router and run a short wire in the back. Besides, why hide some of those really nice looking Mini-ITX cases? :-) Particularly if it's silent. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26276 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
