Next month we're moving to a new house, one that we will be renting for a few years. I'm looking at how to stream content from our home media server around the house. It looks like running LAN cables will not be an option so we will have to do it wirelessly
We will be streaming everything from 480p xvid to 1080p Blu Ray rips, but generally to no more than one device at a time (perhaps worst case two, although not likely both 1080p). My initial thought is to setup two separate Wifi networks - one on 5 Ghz dedicated to the HTPCs and media server, and a separate 2.4 Ghz network for everything else. Has anyone tried that before and run into problems? I think I can still have all the devices on both networks on the same LAN as long as they are all on the same subnet, right? --- Brian
