^ you could get somthing like that as you wont have wires everywhere, but it depends what internet you have and if you got wifi on your xbox etc. :)

I hope thats a joke?

Cabled over wireless anyday of the week!

Yeah if you can go wired and using your network for media purposes.. go for wired..

Wireless isn't that fast. still although it says 54M/bit its really 20 I think.. 54 is the speed at Mac level at application level its 20 (Doing this sort of stuff at uni)

I posted a chart in some other thread..

although the N range of wireless products are prob alright for streaming media but not tired them myself..

[dannyjay]

Yeah g is the most commonly used, but I think its about 13mb you actualy get (Just attended a Cisco wireless course)

I found out so much I didn't know, and the guy only had 1 arm!

[RootDogg]

Yeah its summit completely different from what its says on the box.. it ain't ronseal.. thats for sure.

We should sue!

[ScottG17]

yeah.. my job involves this.... im a BT call centre punchbag! we deal with broadband problems... wireless will work fine if you have thin walls but i wud go 4 cables m8!;)

[saunders]

We should sue!

Yea but in all fairness its to do with advertising. The same as bandwidth, you will never actually get an 8meg download speed. Its just a max capacity rating
