Hello guys, got a question for ya... It's about time to get another computer, and I am looking at getting a network set up in the house. My basic plan is to have a "server" set up with a couple of more "bare-bones" computers around to access internet, music, other things. ex one in the kitchen to look up recipies, one in each "living room" for access to music library, maybe one or two in the bedroom and den to run as HTPC. I have a pentium 4 with 768 MB Ram (thinking about adding a little more to it) and about 300 GB storage. It currently hold my CD and DVD collection (in divx format) and this is the question:
What kind, is any, losses will I experience with a wireless network? I am more than capable of installing a wired one neatly and nicely and already have a multiport switch to use with it, but with wireless, I could just get a couple of laptops and have them a little more portable. If I had a comp hooked up to the TV or projector if I get one, and tried to run a movie or music off the central computer, would there be any loss in signal quality/strength?
Thanks alot guys,
Tony
