Um ... 100Mbit per second vs 400, 480 or 800 Mbit per second speed, slower over wireless ... unless you have a wired gigabit class ethernet network ... I'll be interested to hear what kind of performance you get out of it. Why don't you put Lightroom on your desktop machine? The Lightroom end user license specifically allows use on two machines per user license. It only takes 5 minutes to install it... ?
