[mythtv-users] Anyone happy with wireless?

[Griffon --]

I started out by building a mesh G network using linksys 54g's. This
was good for the basics but when it came to streaming the vob's it
often break down even, also interference was causing speed drop outs
so it would renegotiate at 12 or so for a wile, this would make
streams unusable even if a I set s huge cache on mp layer. So I sucked
it up and spent a weekend and about a hundred bucks wiring the whole
house with cat. It was a total pain in the ass but the end result has
been very worth it. WAF has gone way up since I finished that.
