I do have a D-Link DIR 628 wireless router that is currently not set up as my main system is boxed up and everything else is hardwired to the PC (i.e., Printer, Speakers and HP amp). I was going to wait until I move, and have multiple PC's and my main system set-up, before setting up a network. Given this information, do you still suggest that I set up a home-network using my router now, or should I wait until after I move?

River and any SB software will be loaded onto my PC. When I move, I will have my main PC upstairs and my stereo (you can tell I'm old!) downstairs. At that time, I will investigate using a separate HDD connected to the SBT via USB. Thanks to the both of you for the help...greatly appreciated! -- sawdin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sawdin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36218 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76048 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
