Is this fas enought to have a mythbackend machine serving 2-3 other
mythfrontend machines elsewhere in the house? Seems like 2Mb/S is
probably pretty low:

2GB/Hr = 4.4Mb/S per frontend if I did the calcs correctly.

I'd go buy a new wireless router and a couple of bridges like this
today if I could get a guaranteed 54Mb/S as it should then serve my
Myth needs for the house.
