    2 Gigabit Routers

    So far I have manually set the NIC on the HTPC to 1 Gigabit speed and at this stage the it seems to be holding at around 20MB/sec. Which is enough to stream HD content. I'll see how this holds out, although I don't understand why this doesn't simply work at full speed. Thanks for your...

    Looking for a NAS Solution

    I was looking at either option, i.e. upgrading my ADSL Modem Router to a gigabit one, but there aren't many on the market. Or simply buying a separate box, however that is another power supply in an already tangled mess of plugs and power supplies. I had looked at the CS-407e and do like it...
