They're like $20. What's wrong with you? Hell, I'll give you my wireless B router once I get my wireless G router running.

Since most people don't have a broadband connection over 1.5 Mb/s, you wouldn't notice the difference. The only time you would be able to really tell is transfers between other computers on your network.

Speaking of transfers between computers.... I am unable to get my laptop to connect to my desktop or server wirelessly. If I plug it into the network, it'll do whatever over the copper though. Am I missing a setting or something? I've tried all sorts of rediculous stuff. The laptop is XPSP1, the desktop is Win2k/Debian Sarge and the server is Slackware 10. All the appropriate SAMBA and NFS shares turned on and everything, as well as the Windows shares. Ideas?

Thats about all you can do video wise however. I tried doing some mpeg-2 once and it was a struggle to get it to go unless they were up close to each other as soon as you get under that 6m barrier which is quite easy to do most streaming goes to crap.

BTW, does anyone know when wimax is going to be released?

Well, I can tell you that SP2 is a whole lot more WiFi friendly. Try that first. Otherwise, check to make sure you have the right WAP key and make sure if you're MAC filtering, that you have the address in there correctly.

Not anytime soon according to the infrastructure people here. However, some of the pre-N products out there can stream MPEG2 files. They cannot handle TS files though :(

hmm.. I'm not sure if I've streamed any mpgs, I'll have to give it a go and see how it works.
