Subject: Re: [H] Building a wireless network to support video streaming

Completely agree that wired is better.  But as I said, in this case I
probably don't have a choice.  With two toddlers running around (1 and 3
years old) I can't really afford to have cables lying around everywhere.  So
it's either powerline or Wifi.

Thanks for the tips on the Powerline - I'll look into it.  You say you have
had good experience with it?
