Slap me down if this is unreasonable, but could this be made to work?
I have to admit that I've not ploughed my way through all the goodies in this section, or , but that's simply because I'd like to see if this is feasible before I invest the time and effort.
I've got my 10/100 cat5-wired LAN in one part of the house, and the usual telly/home entertainment stuff in the lounge, and was considering building a 'media-centre' PC with wireless connection into my LAN. This would live beside the telly and provide satellite (mainly) and other media to my TV/home cinema amp etc.
But then I'm thinking Dreambox! Ethernet-based software/firmware updates from my existing LAN and media-file transfer/streaming as well!?!
Why re-invent the wheel, even though Micro$oft seem hell bent on doing just that?
My networking and Linux skills are OK, but I don't know much about wireless.
Anyone done it or see any insurmountable problems? Think I'd go for 11g over b 'cos it seems daft not to.
Comments? Deafening silence? Histerical laughter?
