You might find that if the Airport Express is configured for WDS (as a repeater), that the range will certainly be extended, but your latency may rise and bandwidth may drop significantly. A better solution in that case could perhaps be to use the Airport Express as a bridge, rather than a repeater, and then anything within wire-able range of the AE could be connected through a switch to the AE and your latency and bandwidth should improve (at least a bit anyhow)... But video is just bigger. 802.11g even in best case scenarios (no interference, open field testing) with consumer grade equipment usually only gets you about 20Mbps tops... Sometimes slightly more. -- kevin Kevin Pearsall - Slim Devices Technical Support Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +1.650.210.9400 ext. 3 SB2->Bryston 4B-ST->Von Schweikert VR-2 // SB2->Rotel RSP-1066 & RMB-1075->B&W DM604S3 & Hsu VTF3mkII ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kevin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27990 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
