Hi Del,

Nice to see someone local. I've never tried to stream music or movies on wireless that I recall. I intentionally ran Cat5 to three machines: "Server", "Office" and "MediaCenter". I have two laptops that are on wireless, but I don't stream to them. My wired network is only at 100 MBPS. I considered going to 1 GPBS, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet.

Of course, I have seen flaky-ness when using wireless in general -- most of the time it works, but sometimes it drops its connection or the connection is rated below "good". Kinda like using a cell phone...

Try the hardwired route, and I think you'll be pleased!
