There's no reason to have a music streaming device to be 802.11n compatible. It simply doesn't need the bandwidth and having an 802.11g device on the network will not slow the whole network down like an 802.11b device on a 802.11g network (I think). The only thing you can benefit from is MIMO, but that technology is in the router and it's available for 802.11g as well. And in regards to wired/wireless, you can't beat good ol' copper...if you can hardwire it, you should. You'll never have to worry about a new hacking vulnerability, you'll never have to worry about interference from cordless phones and microwave ovens, and you'll never have to worry that your neighbour will install a more powerful wireless AP which will blow your signal away. Plus wireless routers usually come with 4 wired ports, so you can still use other wireless devices. In regards to routers, my Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware has been rock-solid with 1 SB2, 1 Transporter and one wireless laptop, plus another wired PC and a network-wired printer. Get the "WRT54GL" if you want the equivalent, not a current WRT54G. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
