Very good. I'm upgrading to the 500 Mbps gear soon. (don't expect to get
those kinds of speeds, though).

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?

Note the reviewer claim they stream HD (whatever that means).

Next month we're moving to a new house, one that we will be renting for a

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?
