Hi Dan, I'm the one who put the LB Link on the list. I can't say how far it will work because I am still plugging my RPI to USB for power, but I have no issue with it when using it in my house at all. If there's anything I can do to check it out for you, let me know in an email. Bests, Howard Can I go home now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Passman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16674 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
