Yeah, that's definitely harsh and not enough if working with remote files... And inconsistent througput is not fun at all, can only imagin the packet errors and retries if watching/logging.

Cool... I've got a couple wifi to lan receivers I wound up not needing, which I may use in the future... my single AP in the middle of the house on the second floor reaches the entire property just fine (which isn't that big), can get to the back patio and yard fine, as well as into my car, which sometimes has issues with continuity for calls as I'm driving away.
