No need for a separate thread to clarify the finer points of wifi. Maybe I was not clear enough in my previous post. I should have said that with a mixed a/b/g/n network there is degradation. To me the issued raised was related the fact that at home, most people, don't have a mixed network. So, if I was to start putting a wireless network using an 802.11n AP and adapter, I would be concerned about the degradation that might be caused by the continously on 802.11 b/g adapter in the Controller. That's all. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
